[linux-audio-user] Musical linuxsampler?

[stuff at trackingsolutions.ca]

Do the samples sound good in GigaStudio/GigaSampler? I am running Vienna 
Symphonic Library Horizon Series with linuxsampler and have compared it 
running in GigaStudio and it sounds great.

You could always ask this question at the linux sampler list:
