Apparently. See Andrew's response. :)
Yeah, and I'd happily go with an Open Source sampler if there was an
Open Source sampler. LS isn't and I don't know of an alternative. I
use what I use because it works and it's long since paid for and not
necessarily because I want to.
I know, I'm just ribbin' ya. My MIDI sequencer of choice is a
closed-source DOS program, feel free to give me the same ribs. :)
Best,

Thanks, Mark. I'm pretty sure that Kontakt's native file format is
proprietary, but a Google search didn't help much. Kontakt itself is
able to load/play a variety of formats, correct ?
I'm curious, what formats currently dominate
the Windows sampler worlds ?
Are any of them open-source formats ?
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?
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. :)
