I too have just tried it out for the first time, thanks to the link to Worra's 
place. Got the Honky Tonk Piano files. The difference I notice from playing 
the usb midi keyboard compared to the demo .mp3 is that the .mp3 sounds a lot 
brighter. I'd send you the .wav of C major to compare, but it's 3MB. I don't 
think the list would like that. Of course it would help if there was some 
help for Linuxsampler. I feel like I'm working in the dark. Nigel.
