On a more general point, people pestering for features, submitting bug

As users of free (music) software, you don't have to pay for the use of
this stuff, but you do have more of a responsibility (i reckon) than
users of costlyware to contribute useful criticsm and feature requests
etc to authors - it doesn't mean they'll take your advice, or that it
will happen overnight, but it might some day :)
Use the advantages free software gives you basically...
I'll get off the old soapbox now :)

Pete, please keep on doing whatever the hell it is you want to
do. It was great getting in this morning and having a freshmeat
announcement with an update of specimen. This mail is not a feature wish
list for specimen (or for anyones sampler) this is just what I like
sampler wise.
Well, I'm certainly not going to stop coding, and I'm quite interested
in what features other people find useful because I'll probably find
them useful as well (and then implement them).
