Hello to all,
I´m searching for some kind of a HALion replacement on Linux. Just a
simple engine that responses to MIDI Note on/off and Main Volume per
channel, and that can be triggered using some sequencer (as MUSE or
Rosegarden).
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

The two main choices that I'm aware of are:
* iiwusynth (http://www.hanappe.org/iiwusynth.html)
a soundfont-enabled sampler that is already included in MusE (click on
config-->Soft Synhtesizer, add an istance; click on Config-->Midi
ports, select the iiwu port and then click on "GUI": this brings up a
window in which you can choose a soundfont)
* timidity (http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/),
that can be started in ALSA server mode (of course you must have ALSA
drivers, not OSS) like this: `timidity -iA -B2,8`.
You can load soundfonts by specifying them in the timidity.cfg
file (on my system is /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg) simply adding
the line
soundfont /path/to_my/soundfont.sf2
and comment out anything else.
You can find a huge amount of soundfonts on www.hammersound.net or you
can create your own with swami (http://swami.sourceforge.net/)

This project is your biggest hope:

Also, check this mailinglist's archives,
this question has come up before ...
good luck,

Appealingly simple MIDI-powered sample player, announced on LAD a
couple of months back:
http://simsam.sourceforge.net
Not a "sampler", but it looks handy and combined with a few other
tools it might do what you need. Never actually tried it myself.

Apart from the suggestions regarding 'single task' apps, I'd like to add
modular systems like Pd, SSM, AMS,... Building a simple sampler is the most
basic job in those (at least in Pd, I can't actually speak for the
others)
In Pd you also get soundfont support via iiwu-externals and of course
it responds to all kinds of Midi messages, even in unsusal ways, if you
want that.

SpiralSynthModular will do what you are after :
http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/
Using the Midi and PoshSampler modules, velocity can be made to map to sample
volume, or anything else.
Just thought I'd get that plug in :)
