Mitchell, et. all,
   Making the presumption that I even know what the 'preferred' interface
for Linux Sample might be (which I don't) there are other sample player
motif's that could be of big value in my studio. One would be something like
Native Instrument's Battery, which is more specifically for playing one shot
samples vs. loops based samples, and gets used for drums a lot. There was a
newer app that popped up on the radar recently called hydrogen, which is a
Linux based drum pattern editor. If that was combined with something Battery
like, then we'd have a cool combination for making noise in the
neighborhood.

   Anyway, I'd encourage you to take you energy and get going on something
you want to do. There are people waiting out here, like me, who just want to
make music.

Good luck,
Mark
