Hi Florian,<br><br>Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the conversation.<br><br>I'm agreement with Alexandre Prokudine, a standalone JACK application for 32 bit and 64bit would cover 95% of the target audience.<br>
Perhaps it would not afford entirely to my intended workflow with Kontact (namely using as a plugin in Ardour3): but it would be a huge step forward.<br><br>Although a native VST would also be possible: I (speaking for myself, as its a delicate topic) feel it is a step in the wrong direction. I'm currently using LV2 as my main plugin platform: DSSI and LADSPA days are (again in my opinion) over, while VST's license makes it a bad choice. LV2 is still an emerging plugin standard: But since it is extensible and can be backwards compatible: I feel it is the future. It does involve learning a new plugin "language", and due to its extensibility I have found it quite hard to learn. That said I'm not a wizard coder, so it could be my own personal learning curve I'm up against. Or most likely a bit of both.<br>
<br>I feel I should mention that although I would like to spend time to attempt to realize a Linux version of Kontact, I do not have extensive experience in the field of sample engines or porting software. That said, I'm all up for learning :)<br>
<br>Looking forward to a response, -Harry<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 10:44 PM, Florian Schirmer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:florian.schirmer@native-instruments.de" target="_blank">florian.schirmer@native-instruments.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The direct and naive solution would be a reversed engineered kontakt sample engine, yes.<br>
Very naive.<span></span><br></blockquote><div><br>The community could approach NI and ask if they're intrested in supporting a Linux version of Kontact? I volunteer to write the email, and if they laugh then what harm done...<br>
