And I'm sure it will be easily resolved for LV2 as well. Well, it's pretty annoying/ugly here (these *%*^&% non-self-contained sample banks will be the death of me), but I mean in general. I've looked in to using RIFF for things before realizing the 32-bit limit ruins that idea... oh well. -dr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Linuxsampler-devel mailing list Linuxsampler-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel
