Hi,
since the AKAI format is quite simple compared to the GIG format and does
not offer that much features it would perhaps be easier to write an AKAI to
GIG converter using libakai to read the data and libgig to write the GIG
file.
I am not sure if AKAI samples can be played back 100% accurately by a GIG
engine (perhaps the filters will differ a bit) but I think for most uses the
approximation will be very good.
So IMHO it would make more sense (=lead to faster results, no messing around
with real time code, memory management, etc) to just write such a converter
(especially given the fact that the support libs to read akai and write gig
are already available) rather than writing a full akai playback engine which
takes more time. but if someone wants to add AKAI playback to LinuxSampler
he is of course welcome :)
cheers,
Benno
