Re: [LAU] Reverb to use with LinuxSampler/piano?

I should also mention that Pianoteq has made a native Linux version. I know
it's an excellent product, and the reviews of its Linux performance are
glowing. Of course, Linuxers are often not used to paying for software, but
we can't have it both ways: if we want commercial support, we should from
time to time support commercial products that take the plunge into the
Linux-land market! My two cents, anyway. :)
