It is used to create sample-based instruments in SF2/Soundfont-format, which you then can use either on a Soundblaster hardware synth or in one of the many libfluidsynth-based software synths like fluidsynth itself, fluid~ in Pd, the fluidsynth opcodes in Csound etc. Swami is an editor for creating the Soundfonts. It's a very widespread and well documented format and can be made to sound really great. Check for example the NSKit soundfonts, I used the ns_piano in this track: http://footils.org/cms/show/49 Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
