but the problem is they are relatively small.
Ok that organ is probably nice (100MB .GIG) but have you ever seen a
free 1.5GB piano on the net ?
AFAIK there aren't any so I think the guy that will build the MIS .GIG
file would make a good service
to those that want free high quality samples.
This means we will soon be able to play the MIS
piano directly streamed
from disk using LinuxSampler.
So the advice to Atti and others is:
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.
Benno,
I started to wonder why we need to do this? There are a large number of
open-source GIG files on the net. Two of the most notable sites to get them
are:
http://www.worrasplace.com (Currently down, but coming)
which I pointed out in this forum last December, and
http://62.13.11.115/gtown/ (Currently up, and staying, I hope!) ;-)
with some great gig files sampled at Grebbestad Church.
wouldn't using those gig files provide more than enough confirmation that
any sampler work that was going on here did indeed work with standard gig
files?
I don't understand exactly that you mean.
In linuxsampler we initially support AKAI S1000/2000 and GIG so that
users can tap into
the large pool of existing high quality sample libraries.
Of course the more samples we test libakai and libgig with the easier it
will be to spot
bugs and compatiblity problems.
cheers,
Benno
Or has this been done already?
Cheers,
