Hello,
Is there any ready to use sampler for linux/alsa?
I would realy love to use shaketracker with a sampler
to acheve usual tracker functionality.
(No, although cheesetracker is perfect, I very very want midi too)
I don't need gig or halion support or even sf2
just plain .wav sampler.

I think the easiest solution that I have found was to take smurf or
swami and create sf2 files out the .wav's. It is pretty simple once you
learn how to use smurf. Then you save it then open it with fluidsynth.
An easy solution would be to load Muse -R then load the softsynth
fluidsynth and then load the soundfont you created in Smurf or Swami.
Then select a track, hit the arm button, choose fluidsynth in instrument
selection, and then play away.
fluidsynth no longer requires and soundfont compatible card.

Which brings me to a question: What is a sampler? Or more specific:
What kind of sampler do you look for?

It looks like they got something that could be pretty good soon. I like
to assign a wav file to a range of keys rather than just one key. Makes
me wish I knew c++ really well. I could modify it to just how I like it.
All that it needs is a way to map across a range of keys.

What would be nice is something crossplatform that would allow one to
write sample catalogs in a common, standardized format, to cd ...as well
as tracking them, indexing them {cds as well}, converting samples, writing
compressed cd images for easy library publication, etc... Maybe it could
use ogg or something... maybe have an online sample collection along the
lines of debian and planet ccrma}
{oh... actually playing them might be a function as well. :}}
Is there like a "common desktop" sort of organization for linux audio?

Ah, okay. You might want to take a look at Pd then, which is a modular
synth and more. Doing such a sample-player in Pd is really easy. If
you need help, I could just build a Pd patch that does this very
quickly. The help file for the readsf~ object would be a good start.
The good thing, is that with Pd (or jMax or SSM) you can build very
personalized samplers and other things *without* knowing C++

Frank, as you already know I'm really interested in pd, but I find myself
really sluggish: I can't grasp it at all but I heard of an upcoming book
from its author, do you have any news in that respect?
I have a distinct perception of the power of pd, and I will surely buy that
book when it comes out (old paper is still more "friendly" to me).
For now I am limited to the "pure documentation" examples (which are very
interesting), but I would like to do my own "patches" with a little of
awareness. For example, what can I do with MIDI in pd (I don't mean
controlling pd from a sequencer, but using pd to generate MIDI events)?

I wrote the news item for this on pure-data.org, so you might want to
check there. pure-data.org also is becoming a center for patches,
documentation and more.
The book is quite theoretic: lots of math and formulas. So be warned ;(
But it also includes deeper explanations of the example patches.
A nice new project is the "Pd Repertory Project". It is "an attempt
to make stable, open-source implementations of pieces in the
electronic music repertory".

Oh, thanks. And also pure-data.org is changed since the last time I
visited... I didn't noticed the online chapters of the book :-/

Ehm... I'm not so proficient with math (maybe my pd "attitude" comes from
that ;)

Cool. A lot of news in the pd world.

Thank you, I will read it thoroughly.

Many thanks

I am in the process of learning Pd. How is the performance with sample
based synthesis compared to fuidsynth. Fluidsynth runs nice on my pc but
I will not compile on my powerbook because it has bits of x86 assembly
in it. Stange they have it for osX and linux but not ppc linux.
I currently do alot of sample synth in csounds. Real-time Performance wise can you give me
a comparison of sfront, csound, and PD? Has any body tried to benchmark such things? I
only have a cheesy celeron on my pc now also so I plan to use pd to come up with quick
ideas that I may later translate into csounds.
C/C++ would not be a bad thing to learn though do you think?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
