Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] GUI screenshot , Linuxsampler status,thoughts etc (long)

the downcompiling idea is definitely the way to go, but i think it would
be much better if it was one of the things that was left until later to
develop. i think people would much rather have a working sampler that
used more cpu than have to wait until the downcompiler was ready to have
anything they could use at all. also, the non-downcompiled network is
going to be necessary for synthesis network design, so it won't be
wasted effort.
just my opinion, but the quicker a useable sampler appears, the better!
