My suggestion is to save your money and give linuxsampler a try.

But, how can I create my own Gigasamples, or what else are they called? Is there only Windows software?

Thanks!

The developement version of swami (http://swami.sourceforge.net/) has introduced sume basic support for the gigasample format. I've never used it for this, but I've succesfully produced some custom sf2 samplebanks with it and used them with fluidsynth (via qsynth, http://qsynth.sourceforge.net).

If you couple one of the tools above with Pure Data, you can reach an umbelieveble level of flexibility.

For instance, I'm making a pd patch that is basically a virtual drummer, with different ranges of random variation, both for timing and for velocity, routed to linuxsampler with a very good quality drum bank I've found at http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_kit7freedownload.html

Another patch I'm working on can make a good piano soundbank sound even more realistic, implementing some of the intrinsicnesses of a real piano, like the sympathetic vibration of a string when the key is pressed and I play the same key at an octave above, or the fact that if I've just hit a key and I hit it again when the hammer hasn't had the time to go back in the rest position, and so on.

In bocca al lupo.
