Hi Christian, I'm a newish user of LinuxSampler who can now compile everything from CVS in both Ubuntu and Puppy Linux, so I've come a long way from absolute beginner. Just a few questions to help me understand what you're saying about the command line max. voices and streams. 1. If you went with the simpler 'global' option would that then mean: a) that regardless of how many sampler engines are running the limit of the whole lot would be what is set by the global option, or b) each sampler engine would run with the set global limit as its own limit? 2. With the 'more overhead work' / per engine option would the eventual front-end then allow one to set the voices and streams per audio device?
If the answer is 1b then I think it is a great step forward. The second option would be really nice to have, but if it is a lot of work then I agree that it might not be worth it ATM. My 2c :-) GrahamG South Africa On 10/29/08, Christian Schoenebeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everybody ... breaking the silence... :) > > Benno was stressing me for a while to make the option for max. voices and > disk > streams a runtime option, rather than a compile time one, as its currently > the case.
