I never used Specimen, but, from what I can gather, Specimen was more of a sample player with envelopes and LFOs than a sophisticated sampler. So, you might be able to get similar functionality by adding waveform functionality to a soft-synth. Note that this isn't meant to be a negative statement about Specimen. I'd like to propose a different idea. How about creating an LV2 plugin that focuses on sampler waveforms? Over time, real sampler functionality (loop points, velocity splits and layers, keyboard splits and layers, controller regions, mute groups, crossfading, etc.) could be added to the plugin. Other functionality that's common to synths and samplers (filters, envelopes, LFOs, etc.) could either be added to the plugin, or the dry output of your plugin could be sent to other plugins in an app like Ingen, allowing your sampler to be passed through as many filters, effects, etc. as there are plugins supported by whatever LV2 host is being used. Just an idea. :) -- Devin Anderson devin (at) charityfinders (dot) com CharityFinders - http://www.charityfinders.com/ synthclone - http://synthclone.googlecode.com/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
