So the advice to Atti and others is:
Hmmm, that should have been Atte, but ok :-)
One of you should use a Windows app which allows you
to create .GIG
files (with GigaStudio being the natural choice), download the MIS
samples, tune volume, velocity-splits, trim samples (some samples have
a bit of silence at the beginning etc) and make a .GIG file out of it.
I do not have access to a windows partition, so... I would rather give
it the best shot at creating a (few) sf3(s) of the samples. This could
also prove useful to some people (for instance me, that always run
everything from csound anyways)...
After the piano sounds good in GigaStudio you should
post it online.
That way as soon as LinuxSampler is ready (the piano sample does not
require filters, envelopes etc) we can release a truly free
Grandpiano in software (samples + player).
I didn't know that the project was that mature, looking forward to
checking it out.
To compare how well the MIS piano .GIG you will create
,sounds I
suggest you to use this page:
http://www.af.lu.se/~fogwall/piano.html
On that page you find a classical music midi file
Fantaisie-Impromptu (Chopin)
and the corresponding audio clips rendered with various
digital pianos, hardware expanders and software samples
(including VST The Grand, various multi-Gigabyte piano samples for
Gigasampler etc).
Great idea. I'll give that a go with my sf2-version.
Not sure about the quality we can achieve, for example
the MIS piano
does not include pedal down samples.
IANAPP (I am not a piano player) so I do not know if this is a big
disadvantage that makes it sound unprofessional.
I personally don't think it's *that* important. Let's see...
