[linux-audio-user] Disk sampler?

[Juhana Sadeharju]

Hello. Does the linuxsampler.sourceforge.net really work
as a full-blown sampler? What else I need for using it?

Just add the low-delay trick to the diskin opcode. The trick is
dated at least down in 1995 (patent is 1997).

By the way, what Csound I should use? Unofficial linux Csound does not
work with Hankelson's instruments, and official Csound has no ./configure
for easy install. Is PD or similar better supported? Has anyone
orc-to-pd converter so that I may use Hankelson's instruments
in PD?

I must repeat what others have said: we need good examples and demos.
I tried to check good Csound demos but no such thing available.
Examples were from dull to the worst kind of monotonous tones.
