I am anxiously anticipating the day I can throw out my WinXP box and trade
it in for a fresh install of Linux to do my audio work.
I have been looking around on the web for a soft sampler for Linux, but
haven't come up with anything. There are virtual synths galore,
but no full
featured soft samplers, ala Gigastudio, Kontakt, Halion, etc. Am
I missing
anything?
No, you're not missing anything I know about. There is a low-level project
that is moving along very slowly on a Linux sampler, but I haven't seen a
message on that list in probably two months.
Has anyone tried getting Native Instruments Kontakt (or any other Windows
soft sampler) to run in Wine? I'm curious how/if this would work.
I cannot get Acid Pro, GigaSampler or Kontakt to install. Maybe someone
better than I could figure it out, but it's not plug and play...
I run a console-only install of Mandrake on a 233Mhz as my
webserver off of
my cable modem connection, so I don't have X where I can test any of this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You're welcome,
Mark
