It's a guess on my part Dave but I think the two I suggested I'd buy:

EXS24 and Kontakt. I have no idea if either is Open Source. Different

vendors do support them so there must be some spec for it. Bardstown

supports lots of formats. How can a 1 guy company do that without open

specs?

Yeah, and I'd happily go with an Open Source sampler if there was an

Open Source sampler. LS isn't and I don't know of an alternative. I

use what I use because it works and it's long since paid for and not

necessarily because I want to.
