Hey Batz,
You didn't mention much in regards of what your sampler needs to do? Does it

have to be LinuxSampler?
"Specimen" is a sampler that is quite simple and good for live stuff

(although I'm not sure if it will run headles... ?)
Apart from that, I'm not sure if you a coder, but sample playback is pretty

easy stuff.. I've written one in C++ with an OSC interface... (its *NOT*

tried & tested stable 100% software) but hey, it works here without crashin!

;-)

If your intrested then you're welcome to the source-code, its GPLv3 anyway.
Perhaps you could tells us about the FX too...? Jack-Rack running some

Ladspas? LV2? Or does it need to be built into the sampler?
Cheers, -Harry
PS: For the external controller your talkin about.. Arduino? Or what was

your plan... Curious! :-)
