Soundfonts wouldn't bee too taxing on the cpu either AFAIK. Try fluidsynth or one of it's guis, most notably Qsynth and fluidsynth-dssi.so (the later for instance with ghostess). Soundfonts are of course much easier to deal with than single samples when we're talking about multi sampled instruments like piano. BTW: The best (free) piano I heard is ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2/Steinway_IMIS2.2.sf2.bz2 For drums, I always design a kit for each song, and specimen is super-super fast at doing that. > Will have a read through the online pd help manual, never managed to > grasp it before but i shall try and persevere this time! It's not that tricky.
