Re: Reverb to use with LinuxSampler/piano?

[Aaron Krister Johnson <aaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should also mention that Pianoteq has made a native Linux version. I know it's an excellent product, and the reviews of its Linux performance are glowing. Of course, Linuxers are often not used to paying for software, but we can't have it both ways: if we want commercial support, we should from time to time support commercial products that take the plunge into the Linux-land market! My two cents, anyway. :)

For years I used a Steinway soundfont that was $5 on the internets. Worked well, sounded well.

Lately I use the Old Lady Gigasample in LinuxSampler for recording purposes.

Live I use a very simple piano soundfont lifted from a PC52 or some such General Midi soundfont, because it is lightweight and doesn't use up too much CPU on my EEE, and also because it cuts through the mix with almost headache-inducing force.
