Re: [LAU] Linuxsampler/qsampler usability and session portability

I addressed the list yesterday regarding my dissatisfaction wrt the current state of soft samplers under Linux. Since then I have checked out the latest svn versions of Linuxsampler and qsampler just to make sure nothing had dramatically changed since I last tried them. I'd much rather we fix up LS and qsampler to be usable in all cases rather than anyone, such as myself, go starting a whole new project. I was thinking about posting this to the LS mailing list (if there is one) but the problems I've encountered today involves a wider range of Linux audio projects than just LS (such as LV2 and Ardour) so I thought it best to discuss these issues here. I have two goals I'd like to see achieved: 1 - You should be able to import wavs into qsampler and create/use simple .sfz files without opening/editing/manually creating any text (.sfz) files. This should be easily achieved by adding a new menu option to qsampler called something like 'Import audio files' or 'Create sfz'. In most cases you just need to specify the soundfile and the note or range that will trigger it. Comments Rui?
