Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Supporting various sample library formats and engines

[Benno S. <be...@ga...>]

Hi Frank,
thanks for the AKAI FTP link. 

The other day I was discussing with Steve H. about how to dump AKAI CDs
on disk.
One way could be a raw dump of the CD image and the other dumping the
samples and the program information.
Perhaps we should support both in order to make everyone happy.
(quite easy to implement)

Regarding the large AKAI setup memory requirements ... as said the 
opnions on this list are mixed, some say to keep it all in RAM others
say stream from disk in order to allow working with a larger number of
samples.
Since the RAM sample module will differ only very little from the
disk based sample module we could for example provide both where the
 disk based version provides less features (eg noo loop point
modulation, reverse loops etc).
