You don't need 1GB of RAM free to run the large Gigasound piano

exactly how much RAM you'd require to run it (though LinuxSampler with
the Maestro patch loaded uses about 180MB on my system, FWIW), but it
should definitely work on a system with a total of 1GB of RAM.
OK, thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. I'm a bit surprised that it
can work this way because I would have thought that hard disk latencies
were too high to load samples on demand.
