OK. I got JSampler to mostly work (no preferences yet) by removing the other two standard Debian Java environments, keeping Sun's version 6, and setting up the path variables in /etc/profile. It has reported an interesting anomaly: "Updating database directory: Cannot open instruments database: /var/lib/linuxsampler/instruments.db". The directory "/var/lib/linuxsampler" does not exist. Will be trying a few things now, both Q and J.
