Please note that the following may sound very
sarcastic, but actually it is not (except the part about my bank
account). I expect this type of work that needs to be done to develop
and create a modern, state-of-the art sample lib like Orchestral

Thanks for taking the initiative on this.
The lack of high quality samples usable on a Linux system has been quite a
problem.
What, more closely, is a high quality sample (today) ?
Is it very different, from what it was ten years ago ?
If yes, why did

Hi Patrick,
well put, i think this pretty much reflects the current situation. I'm
definitely open to discuss with the community what potential the linux market
might have. Once you have your stuff together please get in touch with me.

Hi Harry,
i'm curious, what exactly would be the linux version of Kontakt? Kontakt VST
for Linux? Standalone? DSSI? LV2?
What is necessary to cover 95% of the users?
Thanks,

Florian,
Standalone JACK client would work pretty much everywhere (the 95% you
mentioned), but workflow-wise a native VST would (arguably) be
preferable.

Hi Florian,
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the conversation.
I'm agreement with Alexandre Prokudine, a standalone JACK application for
32 bit and 64bit would cover 95% of the target audience.
Perhaps it would not afford entirely to my intended workflow with Kontact

Hello lists,
(if you are note exited by freeing sampled instruments but only by the
technical aspect skip to the line But back to the topic:)
I am doing a research and mail marathon right now. Again I am searching for
more or less open source and free samples but this time I decided to browse
