What's the best SampleTekk format for compatibility?
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2013 1:03 am
Currently, I'm using LinuxSampler (recently retrieved via Subversion and compiled) with the Maestro Concert Grand v2 on Debian Squeeze, and it sounds fabulous!
I haven't orderd from SampleTekk before, but would like to purchase one of their Bosendorfer piano sample sets.
I'm hoping someone here can direct me as to the best way to order their samples for compatibility with LinuxSampler.
Hopefully there's already a web page somewhere with answers to the following someone can direct me to, but if not:
Do I need to order a DVD instead of using SampleTekk's direct download?
I ask because of an old discussion I found at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29.
Also, https://bugs.linuxsampler.org/cgi-bin/s ... .cgi?id=90 is still open,
and http://www.postpiano.com/products/Comparison.htm shows the samples are greater than 2GB.
It looks like the direct download for Black Grand required "Replace all samplings in all groups" from a sample editor for assembly, which in '08 wasn't working in gigedit because of its large size.
So, the recommendation at the time was to order the DVD rather than downloading it.
Does anyone know if this is still the case for the PMI Bosendorfer 290, or PMI The Emperor?
Is it better to order GigaStudio v3 over GigaSampler v2 sample sets?
Thanks much for the help!
