Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Sampler quality comparison...

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

Sorry to get out of my hole but i think this study is pretty stupid and 
ignorant of the actual purpose of a sampler. The purpose of a sampler is 
to replay samples as close to their sampling frequency as possible in 
order to acheive a high level of realism. If you want synthesis then 
this is a whole diferent issue, and then high quality resampling with 
filtering and multipoint interpolation not only makes sense but is also 
a must. However in most cases linear interpolation is really good enough 
for samplers. If you want to use your sampler as a sound creation tools 
you WILL use the artifacts. Except this case, no sane sound bank 
designer would use a sample more that 5 halftones from its root key 
(actually 1 or 2 seems to be the standard).
