ok... after some timeout, i am in full effect again.
fst is already able to load/save chunks.
i dont have a full version of kontakt, so i cant verify whether
load/save works.
i guess you guys already know, that you HAVE to use lash to restore any
vst plugin states.
please report back, whether it works with kontakt.
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.
Agreed. Maybe time is best spent improving linux sampler. Then again, good VST
has benefits, although I do see how it may hurt the long term goals of free
software. I'm just not sure if the best way to help free software is to limit
it's ability to integrate with proprietary software.
Noted. However, I remain unconvinced that Linux Sampler is intended to be a
drop-in replacement for something like Kontakt.
I don't think it's intended to be a drop-in replacement for Kontakt; I
think it's just intended to be cool.
I can appreciate that.
