I was using Extreme Sample Converter (is there any better option?). ESC is by far the best sfz converter. You can't convert nkm (Kontakt multis). Latest beta can open Kontakt 4 nki files and convert those. In most cases sfz conversion is fine. Only the release samples are not handled correctly. I t...

This depends on the complexity of the source material. Frankly - you have to try - and compare the results with the original. You won't have banks in Kontakt so converting to "banks" would not make sense. I would give the older gig format a run - all old VSL samples are in this format. ESC is also a...

To my knowledge it is not - yet.

You can freeze / render by choosing realtime.

I did this with Reaper and it is working.

Yes, a small all in one tool would be great. A very simple one: Choose a folder with your gig files Choose a destination folder for the Mono-Gigfiles Press "enter" and go for a cup of coffee. :) Right now I convert the gig-files into Kontakt format, batch convert the samples to mono with Reaper and ...

My fault... I didn't know they have a special audio format for the samples:

Example:

sample=Bsf9TMoG#1_0002102C.audio

I have no clue what this is.

Fantasia displays "instrument failed to load" ; nothing in th console.

I tried to load some Garritan Personal Orchestra instruments into the sfz engine of LS.

It did not work - yet.

Will it be possible at some point to load these sample instruments?

LS performs a lot better than aria.

The number of streams was always set to 90 all the time. But I think you are right. When I set the number of streams to 1000 the plugin uses aroung 1000MB instead of 100MB for 90 streams. It looks like LS reserves 1MB for every stream. So when I insert 8 instances with 90 streams the used Ram would ...

Reducing the voice count in Fantasia from 1024 to 100 voices reduces the RAM usage very little. Less than 10mb per instance. 24 instances are still more than 2400MB. I am testing with the snapshot from aug. 17th. I'll update to the latest snapshot from today. Update: No difference with latest snapsh...

Yes, latest version. 1.0.0 csv14. For demonstration I have currently inserted 24 instances of LS with a total of 384 stereo channels into Reaper 64. The Reaper project is empty. Only linuxsampler is inserted, there are no samples loaded. The Ram usage displayed by Reaper is 2470MB, CPU use around 50...
