No Cheetah SX16? No Akai S612? No Yamaha TX-16W?
Not sure about Cheetah. True for the Akai. The TX has digital filters, I still have one in my studio. It loads filter coefficient tables from disk and there was a DOS software to create you own, I tried it once or twice. It was one of the inspirations for Minicomputer...
Thanks for suggesting I try out this synthpler .... a very unique sound-producer among the many available on linux.
Do you have any suggestions for "patches" to give people a better idea of what this beast is capable of? It is actually part of Fedora

(congrats for getting your package directly in the main distro!)
Unfortunately, it comes with minimal presets, but I was eventually able to make it produce some interesting sounds...

hopefully I get my Emulator II working again. When it worked, the hybrid sound was amazing. Another hybrid sampler/synths, just for the fun of it: (Samplers are underrated at the moment and cheap to get second hand)
This seems like a good time to re-ask a question here amongst the ancient equipment freaks :-)
Is there a way to get Emu EIII sample-CD's (as well as the EIII sample format on hard disk) converted into SFZ or GIG format for use by LinuxSampler???
