Hi Just an information: I have written a small "tool" which creates giga-files for some of the instruments included in the NDK. Each instrument is an own giga-file. Currently it does not use any mod-wheel stuff... (hi-hat openness... etc.). For the velocity dimensions I use libsndfile which measures the peak of each sample-file (as proposed here on the list) and then the tool defines the dimensions based on this measurement. Its a C++ application and I've written it for myself...no warranty... ;-) If anyone should be interested then you can drop me a line and I'll send you the code.

We like to make a NDK (drums) file for Linuxsampler. Should we go for GIG or SFZ? See also message below. \r lördag 01 januari 2011 17.31.47 skrev du: ... <snip> Perhaps I should sit back a little and think about SFZ. I see some people says that the Gig format is (almost) dead, but I don't agree: samples can still be purcased anywhere and the format is very powerful. Do the CVS version of Linux sampler work without problems with SFZ and is it possible tom make SFZ files without burning the brain? If that's the case, then I will consider use SFZ, but I have to make the samples now and the GIG format seem to be the only (?) stable alternative. Perhaps it might be better to convert from GIG to SFZ later? One thing is for sure: The time it takes to make this stuff is worth it.
