Hi, I am completely new to sound manipulation on any OS.

I am trying to get the linuxsampler components set up on my Fedora 13.

I used yum to install linuxsampler and qsampler installed from the CCRMA repository.
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/m ... /repoview/
libgig-3.3.0-2.fc13.ccrma.i686
linuxsampler-1.0.0-5.fc13.ccrma.i686
linuxsampler-devel-1.0.0-5.fc13.ccrma.i686
qsampler-0.2.2-2.svn507.fc13.ccrma.i686

Which also installed these dependencies:
liblscp.i686 0:0.5.6-1.fc13.ccrma
phonon.i686 0:4.4.1-2.fc13
phonon-backend-gstreamer.i686 2:4.4.1-2.fc13
qt.i686 1:4.6.2-16.fc13
qt-sqlite.i686 1:4.6.2-16.fc13
qt-x11.i686 1:4.6.2-16.fc13

And I installed gigedit from the same site:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/m ... a.i686.rpm

I have been following this quick start:
http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gi ... ve_editing

And have made it down to the "Where to go from here?" without too much struggle but the gigedit keys make no sound.

I was able to set a "Region" as shown above the keyboard.
I used a single piano note .wav file as the sample.
I was able to add that to the "Default Group" item in the left window.
I was able to drag that name across to the "Sample" field on the "Sample" Tab in the right window.
I was also able to drag that name down over the "Region" BUT was NOT able to drop it in there.
I noticed that I could right click over the region and select a "Properties" field but was also Not able to copy the sample string and paste it into that properties box. (well it would paste but it will disappear as soon as the dialogue box closes.)

Is there another route I should be taking?

but the gigedit keys make no sound.

Gigedit only plays sound if it's run from inside linuxsampler.

So, if you want sound from gigedit, you have to start linuxsampler first, use Fantasia or qsampler to load you instrument, and then start gigedit by clicking the "edit" button.

I was also able to drag that name down over the "Region" BUT was NOT able to drop it in there.

You don't need to. The sample for the selected region is shown in the right window at the top (where you were able to drop it).
