Hi! If I were to create a lovingly cared for instrument and if I had the right knowledge to do so, I'd stick with gigasample at least for two reasons I know of: keyrelease-samples and pedaldown-samples. I suppose there's more to it. Why I wouldn't stick to specimin or tapeutape (much as I like the latter one) for my basic "official" instrument: That way it's restricted to linux and inside linux restricted to sighted people. That reduces the user/player-base enormously and in my case it restricts freedom of useability. Before we get something started: I don't say don't do patches for specimin and other linux-specific samplers. I just go for the wider masses first. Maybe there's help out there, enthusiasts with very nice feedback, advice and other things that are honey for the ego, and fuel for continuing development. :-) Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
