I am looking for a good reverb to add just a hint of reverb to
LinuxSampler with a piano sampler, to turn my rig into a good overall
acoustic piano simulator. I just tried Jack Rack, but the two included
reverbs didn't seem made for me at all. Suggestions anyone?

Hey Johnathan,
Personally, I find Gverb (another ladspa plug-in that can be used in
jack-rack) to be great for adding a small amount of reverb to whatever you
need.
Another (probably overkill and cpu intensive) solution might be jconvolver +
an impulse response to generate the reverb. YMMV.

The 'sala-concerti-cdm' (the small concert hall of La
Casa della Musica) one is quite a nice reverb for use
on piano. The supplied config files (providing mutiple
inputs correspondig to different positions on stage) are
indeed overkill, and you'll need to mix the reverb with
the original signal as well. But it's easy to create a
configuration that just provides what you need and doesn't
require external mixing. Drop me a line if you need
assistance.
CPU load for this one is irrelevant compared to what
Linuxsampler requires anyway.

I once stuck a piano in a prehistoric cave using jconvolver; that was a lot of fun (and
sounded surprisingly good).
If you don't want to go the whole jconv routine, the Calf reverb is pretty nice too.

Hey Jonathan,
What piano soundfont did you find the best? I'm looking for a really
good one here.

I never found a really good piano .SF2; this is why I set up
LinuxSampler. Right now I am using the one they provide on their web
site, and it's pretty good, but when I get the $ I'm going to try to
find a Bosendorfer .gig I read about a while back. I have always wanted
to play a Bosendorfer since I heard of them, and the .gig I heard of was
$40, I was told it is excellent.

The only one I found good was that Logic Pro "Steinway" and "Yamaha".
ANd I
really don't like synthetic pianos, but that was quite different. I would
really love to have this kind of quality on gnu/linux.

Anyone who wants is welcome to grab a soundfont I made some years ago. It's
based on samples from my Yamaha-P200 digital piano. You might balk at the
idea of samples from samples, but I think they sound pretty good, and the
price is right. I actually use this a lot and prefer it over some Steinway
fonts I've downloaded at Hammersound.

Thanks Aaron,
I'd like to try it, but it's not easily possible, if at all, for me to
extract a sfArk'ed file. Could you provide it in some conventional
compression format?

No source code; but it works ok.

I should also mention that Pianoteq has made a native Linux version. I know
it's an excellent product, and the reviews of its Linux performance are
glowing. Of course, Linuxers are often not used to paying for software, but
we can't have it both ways: if we want commercial support, we should from
time to time support commercial products that take the plunge into the
Linux-land market! My two cents, anyway. :)
