If I understood correctly, there is something special about the way your giga sample player works compared to the way a giga sampler works on PC??

The array of softsynths that were available a couple of years ago for playing "style tracks" ( for OMB & Livestyler) was very limited because of the Bank & Program Change issue.
I chose soundfonts at the time because they gave me the most flexibility. I could pick & choose which sounds I wanted to use in my XG Bank. The reason I gather soundfont program & bank changes work is because the whole xg soundfontbank gets loaded into the pc's memory. The XG soundfont banks I've come across ranged in size from roughly 32 megs to 250 megs. Not a hassle to load.

Your XG Giga Bank is gigabytes, obviously that's why the streaming.

So what I suppose I'm really asking is, if your xg giga sample was availalble for PC,
would a pc giga sample player / livestyler setup work?? ie does a pc giga sample player handle bank & program changes as perfectly as the MS??

best wishes

Hi Rikki
I think under PC the linuxsampler with the Fantasia frontend will work at the same way that we have used on MS.
with the linuxsampler Fantasia editor, you can create your all owner sounbank/soundfonts and streaming the all giga sounds under GM, GS and XG mode together. http://linuxsampler.org/downloads.html
the only problem is to remake all again the LSCP file configuration under PC windows, because in Linux the HD link to files is different.
example on linux:
MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT 0 0 0 GIG '/home/mediastation/GigaLibrary/SoundbankGM2/001Acoustic\x20Grand\x20Piano/GrandPiano.gig' 0 0.9 PERSISTENT 'GrandPiano.gig [0]'
MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT 0 0 1 GIG '/home/mediastation/GigaLibrary/SoundbankGM2/002\x20Bright\x20Acoustic\x20Piano/BrightPiano.gig' 0 0.9 ON_DEMAND_HOLD 'BrightPiano.gig [0]'

On windows will change the disk directory by [url=C://....][url=C://....][url=C://....]C://....[/url][/url][/url]
In this way my LSCP file GM/XG configuration will not working there.
I'm not interesting to make it under windows OS, to much work and not my field products.
