Using Hydrogen it's possible to tune the samples, to pan the samples, to readjust the volume of the samples, to replace some samples. Using Fluidsynth-DSSI you just can load a soundfonts and enjoy drums that at least aren't tuned to fit to your song, the snare in any case is to loud for default soundfonts and I don't think using swami is fun. For Linuxsampler it's the same and in addition there's no DSSI or editor I guess. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
