What about dynamic sampling?
i.e. different samples for different velocity ranges?
Is that already included in *one* .gig-sample?
I've never played with GigaSampler, so I dunno how they look like.
At least I can imagine, that you will always be able to increase the
throughput proportional to the "sound quality" (by higher quality samples,
layering of multiple samples, and younameit.), so I'd like to see the
cached HD sampling.
