I doubt support for nki could ever be implemented due to all the reasons you give. Plus samples are encrypted. Linuxsampler has decided to focus on SFZ format which is a (semi) standard.

I don't know how to start Gigedit from Fantasia, but why can't you just run it standalone?

Sampletekk is now selling SFZs for some of their pianos. For years Sampletekk sold gigasampler versions of pianos which work excellently in linuxsampler, though recently they've phased out the gigasampler versions in favor kontakt.

This is a great idea. I suggests writing to the developers list: http://linuxsampler.org/developers.html

With Ubuntu you can use the kxstudio repos for linuxsampler and lots of other linux music software: http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/

You can load an LSCP script with this command: cat yourscript.lscp | netcat localhost 8888 see: http://www.linuxsampler.org/documentation.html As far as I know you cannot control note ranges, i.e. splits with LSCP.

On my system, AVLinux 6.0.3, virmidi must be started by loading the virmidi kernel module with command: sudo modprobe snd-virmidi However, its possible to have this module loaded automatically at start up. You can check if this module is running with command: $ lsmod | grep virmidi snd_virmidi 1911 ...

You might be able to install using the PlanetCCRMA repos (in addition to other music software). If that does not work, just compile the software directly, without making RPMs which are not absolutely needed.

I suspect if you want an encrypted sample format you'll need to use something other than gigasampler format, e.g. kontakt so your samples would be of no ...

Many linux audio distros like AVLinux and kxstudio come with recent versions of linuxsampler so you do not need to compile it yourself. kxstudio repos can be used by any Ubuntu varient and so are an easy way for Ubuntu users to get linux audio software.
