Apologies to Luis Garrido, who will get this email twice. Again, I fell afoul of the "Reply" button not sending back to the list. - Wow, there's so much swirling around my head, I don't know where to begin. You know, I definitely think that once synthesis and sampling hit software, the div

2008-01-15 Thread Benno Senoner
Hi all, together with Christian we already had several discussions about implementing a new modular engine for LS along with an open sample file format. This time we would like to avoid hardcoded design as it is too limiting. the idea is to construct a sampler from scratch by using basic building
