[Linuxsampler-devel] New sample engine (and editor too)

[Mauricio K. <mk...@ya...>]

Hello developers.

I was thinking in a new sample format based on spectrum and not on waveform. The idea is create samples that sounds good without the need of thousands of samples.
Imagine a piano library with only 5 velocity layers stored in spectra format (maybe in mdct format) and the engine blend the spectrum at run time. Casio has this technology and name it as 'Multi-Dimensional Morphing'. Kontakt name it as AET (Authentic Expression Technology), but as I know, it is at edition time, not at runtime.

Now, imagine that this technology can be used not only to piano libraries, but for any type of sound.
I think that this technology can be groundbreaking in the samplers market. With good editor + script toolset, anyone can create your own 'instrument model'.

What do you think about?

Thanks
