on the other hand ive realized specimen is a great sampler:
everything i need (preview .wav, map different regions, loop point
editor, filter, though more different filters would be very very
nice...) and i didnt know you could use it directly from rosegardan
through alsa midi , that excelent, just as if specimen was a plug
in, i can trigger samples from my midi keyboard with an
inperceptible latency,
I was holding my breath while reading this paragraph. I'm very glad
the program has worked for you so far, please send me any bugs you
encounter, or any feedback in general. More filters are definitely on
the way, but a more useful en route feature is giving each patch
a pair of jack outputs (more on this below).
I'm pleased that Specimen currently has everything you need, but I
hope to present it in a vastly more useable and attractive manner with
the new GUI currently being developed. While the current GUI may be
technically complete (for very small values of "complete"), it isn't
quite a joy to work with.
now i would like to know several more things, like how
to apply
ladpsa plugins to the sampler for example if i want to use some of
the ladpsa filters... how is the audio routed from specimen back
into the midi host mixer (it displays audio in a channel called
rec... ) but it has no slots for plug ins...
As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, you can apply effects to
Specimen via jack-rack. However, since it only has one pair of output
ports, using effects is a sub-optimal experience (to put it nicely).
When each patch has it's own port, the situation will be much better.
