Yeah, and I'd happily go with an Open Source sampler if there was an

use what I use because it works and it's long since paid for and not
necessarily because I want to.

It's a guess on my part Dave but I think the two I suggested I'd buy:
EXS24 and Kontakt. I have no idea if either is Open Source. Different
vendors do support them so there must be some spec for it. Bardstown
supports lots of formats. How can a 1 guy company do that without open
specs?
I don't know. Possibly not. GigaStudio is dead. A focus by the LAU
Sampler community to remain *.gig focused may cause problems longer
term.
I own GigaStudio 3 & 4 but also other samplers as well, as dedicated
sample players. Over time I'm slowly migrating to other sample file
formats for that reason.
Hi Mark,
I'm curious, what formats currently dominate the Windows sampler worlds ?
Are any of them open-source formats ?
Also, in your opinion is SFZ/SF2 a decent replacement
for GIG ?
No idea what those are? Some sort of Sound Font derivative?
All my samplers are Windows-based so I don't
face these issues.
Until they die too. :)
