Then its more or less useless in comparison to Gigasampler. Most of
the developers on this list could cook up a reasonable audioclip
player in a couple of days (given the time). What makes samplers
useful is not playing back precomputed sounds, its all the other stuff
in their interface. Go play with an ASR-10 or some other dedicated h/w
sampler, and you'll find that most of the functionality has more to do
with layers, MIDI keyboard/velocity mapping, pitch mapping, tempo
control and tempo maps, sequencing, built-in FX (probably redundant),
etc.
That stuff is much harder to write (correctly) than sample playback.
Did I mention reading samples in formats other than straight WAV/AIFF
files ? Visit "chickensystems.com", and take a look at "translator".
