Kontakt, at least Kontakt 2, ran decently under Ardour-VST with the wine layer last I tried it, with the exception of the convolution reverb. But the samples were perfectly usable. Admitedly I was only using the default sample library that came with it, so it doesn't stand up to EW to my knowledge, but it is an option. I am not sure how Kontakt 3 runs as I don't own that to try it.<br>
<br>I personally haven't found a good sample library that is native to Linux with nearly the same breadth and quality of samples as EW has in their libraries. But maybe it is out there and I just don't know about it. In the meantime running the VST under wine via Ardour-VST etc. may be your best bet.<br>

Hi!<br>
Now first hand experience, but all I know from earlier discussions.<br>
I think quantum leap is no VST? If it is a VST you could try to use it in<br>
ardour or in another linux vst-host application. If not, you might try the<br>
windows emulator, but I'm sure too sure of the performance.<br>
Another option, yet not as powerful, is using gigasamples. We have<br>
LinuxSampler, it can read gigasamples from gigasampler2, but I think not (yet)<br>
gigastudio3.<br>
I hope this first very small impression can get you along a bit further.<br>
Sorry for not knowing more.<br>
Kindest regards<br>
Julien<br>
