I hate to say it but it will take a little bit of time still before I release it. I've decided to use the sfz format instead. It seems much more flexible than giga and gigedit started to missbehave and pissed me right off when I tried to make releases :) sfz is non-monolithic so you'll automatically have access to individual samples.

Hey Hey Hey!

I'm currently making a rather big grand piano sample library. It is a Yamaha C5 recorded with 2 AKG C414 in an AB position about 10cm above the strings at 24bit48khz. It is downsampled to 16bit44.1khz because gigedit couldn't save files larger than 2gb. It's sampled in minor thirds with 17 velocity layers (some only 16 due to a nasty head ache when I recorded)

I'd like to have some feedback and have two questions answered. I've posted the same question on the linuxsampler forum but that doesn't seem to be the most active place in the world so I'll make a post here too.

The question: Can I make release samples to be played even if the sustain pedal is pressed?

The other question: How should I distribute it? I was thinking something like a torrent would be the most effective. I only got 512kbps up and It's about 1.5gb worth of .gig file

Thank you!
