What i was talking about was - it has to sound like Gst if you want it
to sound like Gst. But it can sound like anything else, or custom. My
point was - flexibility.

What we're aiming at AFAIK is to provide 100% .gig support, not Gst
support. We just want to take full advantage of the .gig format,
anything beyond that could be considered as reverse-engineering Gst(or
any other app) which is forbidden.

what i was trying to propose was to make the velocity system as flexible
as possible from the start, so that it would handle virtually any kind
of situation, custom settings, or that it could be used in conjunction
with virtually any sampler velocity emulation, not just Gst.

You forgot the akai users, the exs24 users, halion users, kontakt users,
nnxt(not sure about that name, the reason sampler), and roland users(old
hw samplers s-7xx). :)
