As the OP said, you can check out CVS activity at http://linuxsampler.org/ There is no more eloquent testimony of the development status than that, facts speak louder than words. LS is a complex beast and a work of love. If you know anything about software development you can see there are thousands...

You have to give the sampler more samples to play so the note lasts longer. Either you record longer samples or you use the "loop" feature, so the sampler goes over and over through a user-defined section of the sample. LFOs have absolutely nothing to do with how long a note lasts. With all due resp...

I commend you for your efforts and look forward to your results. I don't want to discourage you, but the licensing issues and distribution details seem a bit limited. All musicians over the world can load and use freely CGM3.0 without any restriction excepted this one : CGM3.0 is not for commercial ...

I recommend you start a Linuxsampler instance, open a telnet session to it and start issuing LSCP commands. Then you will realize how easy would it be to create a very simple GUI in your app that would do the same, since you only need a minimal part of LS functionality. See: http://www.linuxsampler....

I will use it for my program Live-Styler (http://www.live-styler.us) as output device. According to LinuxSampler license you cannot use it as part of a commercial product . If you are still interested perhaps you can work out another licensing terms with LS authors. It should be pretty easy to desi...

Format conversion can only go so far, since there may be some fundamental incompatibilities in the engines. A very easy example would be the random dimension in gig, which can't be translated to sf2 at all. More subtle features could be envelope definitions, response curves, filtering... I'll confes...

There are a couple of programs that can do that, although their scope is a bit broader: ardour and sonicvisualiser. If you are familiar with source code compilation you can try my very own soundtoucher, which aims to be a very simple utility for the specific purpose you describe: http://sourceforge....

If what you guys want is to make some rightful bucks out of all the effort and talent you threw in LS I think donations are not very effective, only very well-off people will pay for something they can get from free. Perhaps you could go for the old dual scheme: a "Pro" closed source version, with s...

I have a Pentium-M 1.6 GHz. Fooled around with the benchmarks and came up with this:
I don't recall the exact figures, but the improvement was about 10% of CPU usage.

I authored Swami's autolooper, although the current version is buggy. The algorithm can't be any simpler, it is just autocorrelation analysis. Basically you make an exhaustive brute-force search looking for similar chunks and you pick up the best results. It is not evident from the actual code becau...
