Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] NI Kontakt vs Halion performance (voice count)

[Sebastien M. <me...@me...>]

As one of the developper of the UVI Sampling Engine (which is behind the
plugsounds/spectrasonics/MachFive plugins) I'd be very happy about a
"sampler performance test suite" that could be used to test objective
and subjective perfomances of all the sampling engines on the market.
The suite should include (at least):
streaming and non streaming polyphony perfs
effects perfs
routing perfs
memory footprints test
signal handling tests and benchs (enveloppes, pitch correctness, LFOs,
etc...).

It could be a good idea to develop a set of typical samples and
methodology to test comercial and non comercial samplers on the market.
I'd be quite happy to contribute to such a project, and give the input
of my fellow sound designers a USB Sounds.

Any one care to comment on this idea?
