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

[Mark K. <mk...@co...>]

David & David,
   Was that the name of a band in the late 80's maybe? I must go look.

   Well, if it served no other purpose, at least my 1st posted created a
little bit of traffic on the list, right? ;-)

   From my conversation with Benno, and then just watching the discussions
on Linux-Audio-Dev, I can tell that there are a few things going on. If it's
too early, it's too early, but I wanted to simply join up and express my
interest. I'm not a software guy, so there isn't much I can do to help in
that area, but I have numerous computers and lots of interest, so when
things are ready for people like me, I'm here.

   I presume that there will be interest in supporting pre-existing
libraries. I certainly have a great desire to use the ones I own. (I'd like
a good prepared piano also!) ;-) Has any work happened to be able to open a
GSt library and get data out of it? If so, I could do testing at that level
even if the files cannot really be used right now.

   As always, I probably have too many ideas, but personally I'd really like
to see a sample player somewhat like Battery for Linux. I think that it's a
much more simple interface, requires far fewer system resources to work
well, could use Wave files easily. I just think overall it would get a lot
of use up front. The existing sample players, like iiwusynth and timidity
are not, IMO, really very good for dealing with drum sets.

   Has there been any discussion of doing something like that?

   I mentioned this to the individual that did the little SimSam player, but
haven't heard back.

   Anyway, I'll just hand out and see what happens.

   I haven't paid too much attention to XAP as I think it's too much below
the hood for someone like me. I'm glad to see that you are thinking of
samplers with it. I can tell folks are interested.

Cheers,
Mark
