The issue here
is that Mr Bond wants a sampler like Kontakt that works
with Linux audio systems and saves its state. The best way to achieve
that is to work on a free alternative, eg, Linux Sampler.
In any case, Linux Sampler and Kontakt are
different sorts of samplers at this point. Linux Sampler is more in the spirit
of Gigasampler, and Kontakt is more like an emulation of a hardware sampler (but
vastly more flexible).
The key words there are "at this point." As noted, the *long-term*
potential of Linux Sampler is probably still much greater than Kontakt-in-wine.
Forest, you
might reconsider your decision that fst has the most
long-term potential and check out Linux Sampler instead; specifically
QSampler.
Noted. However, I remain unconvinced that Linux Sampler is intended to be a
drop-in replacement for something like Kontakt.
