benno senoner has a program called disksampler. he presented it on
linuxtag, and i played a bit with it then. gave very good responses.
the program supports the .gig file format of gigasampler, but it was
quite hackish. i'm not sure anyone except benno was able to get it
running then, but things may have improved.
see http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/resourcesmembers.php3#senoner
for a link.
at home, i use a soundblaster live card which has a very nice synth.
i play it with my keyboard, and it works like a charm. plus you can
use smurf, which is very cool.
sb live value cards should come pretty cheap by now.
i hear MuSE (http://muse.seh.de) now has softsynth support, but i
don't know if it can be played in real time.
