Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Hi - Very quiet list - my first post

[David G. M. <dg...@pi...>]

Hey Mark,
                I've been on this list for a few months as well and 
noticed it's kind of died down.  Not sure what's up with that - it was 
very active around November, iirc.  There has been some discussion about 
Swami, but I think the real hope for sampling under Linux might be XAP 
(discussed extensively on linux-audio-dev.)  I also use Gigasampler a 
bit and seeing as I'd like to dump Windoze altogether I'm hoping for a 
way to use my libraries in Linux (like my really nifty Akai-format 
prepared piano CD...)
