Linuxsampler supports wav, ogg, flac (maybe others I forgot). I would recommend writing new instruments using SFZ rather than Gigasampler format. Gigasampler is no longer developed and SFZ is an open format being actively developed in linuxsampler. Unfortunately, I do not know of any common place to...

If you use Ubuntu I recommend installing linuxsampler (and other music software) from the kxstudio repositories: http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/

Your system should be fine. Linuxsampler demands little CPU, but more memory always helps. 3G should be fine for Maestro Concert Grand. By the way, salamander grand, a free SFZ piano, is much better than Maestro IMO:

Do you find CPU usage of LS to be a problem? I find that LS uses very little CPU, especially compared to synths. But I typically do not load a many instruments, though I sometime use large samples (6GB Black Grand piano). In my experience, making LS multi-core does not appear to be a high priority.

LS will play SF2 files (if compiled from SVN) so you could try it out and see how it does with a wind controller.

For whatever reason liblscp is done like this: make -f Makefile.svn (there is no Makefile.cvs for liblscp).

My experience with Sampletekk is the the GS3 version of Black Grand plays very well in linuxsampler (on AVLinux). I had to get the DVD set because the GS3 version is not available for download (which I think is pretty lame). Also if you order send them an email and make sure they know you want the G...

I suggest using the ksxtudio repositories which have linuxsampler precompiled.

The OpenOctave people have a nice tutorial on Linuxsampler which might help you: https://github.com/ccherrett/oom/wiki/Linuxsampler

As a linux user I cannot help you with your Windows midi setup, but I know about Ldaspa. Ldaspa is an open-source plugin standard (like VST) which was developed for Linux. I think the error message is harmless - it means you do not have a Ladspa plugins folder. I don't quite understand this message ...
