Gigedit has a "replace all samples" function that works ok. There is one 
issue though: Giga samples which are larger than 2 GB need to be split 
into multiple files (.gig, .gx01, etc.). LinuxSampler can read those, 
but Gigedit can't save them. So, if your samples happen to be larger 
than 2 GB, you're out of luck.

I had this problem with the Sampletekk pianos I bought last month (White 
Grand and Black Grand), and the only solution I could find was to get 
hold of a copy of GigaStudio and run it on Windows :(
On the LinuxSampler forum I found a small program called updatebg5 
that's supposed to work at least for the Black Grand, but for me it 
crashed after processing the first 2 GB file...
