If specimen is too complicated, I would suggest using a modular synth like galan. Here's a quick howto for galan: Per sample you have to create: 1/2x Sampled voice (mono/stereo), attach the samples to these 1/2x Randomaccess to realtime converter (mono/stereo) 1 x Control To get anything out: 1 x oss/alsa/jack output * Attach the sampled voice(s) to the randomaccess converter(s) * Attach the control to the converter(s) (bottom round thingy to the converters upmost round thingy) * Attach the converter(s) output (right side thingy) to the sound output * Create a button for the control (via the context menu new control->button) Then open the control panel (window->Show control panel) Press the button in the control panel, and the sample will play. You can add as many samples as you wish, just use different sources, converters and controls for each sample. (I used an old version of galan to do this, so there might be stereo "sampled voice" plugins in the newer ones) Sampo daniel.vincent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: > Me: > > Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a piece of > software > > that I can play samples from, as simple interface-wise as possible. > > Sampo: > > How about specimen? > > http://www.gazuga.net/ > > Thanks Sampo > > Even Specimen is a bit overly complicated, I literally want to be able to > trigger samples whilst playing keyboards etc if that makes sense.
