Hi! Thanks for all of your replies!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
 &nbsp;Another option, yet not as powerful, is using gigasamples. We have LinuxSampler, it can read gigasamples from gigasampler2, but I think not (yet) gigastudio3.<br></blockquote><div><br>Are you sure Linuxsampler can&#39;t read gigastudio 3? It seems that in the Features-page it states that there is support for gigastudio 3, and it seems to be implemented for the most parts, mainly missing convolution (whatever that is). And what do you mean with &quot;not as powerful&quot;?<br>
<br>I&#39;d rather not use Kontakt in any form, as I&#39;ve had some rather bad experiences with it (e.g. Kontakt deciding after a week of decent workflow that the patches that came with it are not for the version I&#39;m using). After some search it seems that the Sonic Impact&#39;s Symphonic-products are the thing as they ship it in Gigastudio 3-format.<br>
