Frankly, I'm not all that interested in re-creating cymbals for the sake of re-creating cymbals. I'd never use them for what I do anyway. What if linux audio were to utilize some sort of {FM?} synthesis sample module {small, loadable by anything and capable of generating a specific range of sounds. Not pre-recorded but generative... tunable, etc... over time individual modules would get optimized to a high degree... "presets" basically but for single sounds.} that could work across the platform. Samplers {like postgresql {gnumeric, open office, etc...} with some audio specific code} could function as librarians... to standardize tunings across a given bank of samples, to set up dependencies and interactions between given sound modules, etc, etc... with apt {synaptic, aptitude, dselect, etc} you could set up a server somewhere and interchange libraries and modules. ...Anyway... given some time it could make the need for standardized "sample" libraries a thing of the past. } > > {In other words...
