Is Linuxsampler deprecated?

You have all those? How big disk you have?

Ahhhh tavasti =)

I have a huge disk but unfortunately there is one catch. I don't have every one of those titles. Yet.

Firewire hardware is kind of deprecated but much of it will live on for years to still be useful. It's not dead yet. Once you get it working well (not trivial due to the lack of solid & dependable & up to date & organized information) you have a cheapish good audio system.

On the other hand I did get stuck in the paradox where I had to spend a lot of time and money to get to the point where I kind of understood which parts worked well for a cheap and good firewire system.

Different hardware = different results and with firewire you're on your own without vendor support.

Gig files aren't encrypted so they can be extracted and repackaged to another format but I don't know of any good automated solutions which can do this. If anybody knows of a reliable method that could be helpful for owners of existing gig libraries if they wanted to "future proof".

Gig files. Firewire. These are two things that clearly are deprecated. If you're not already using them, don't start. If you are using them, think about an exit strategy since every additional day makes it more likely you'll be faced with an ultimatum on their continued use.

Thinking about it, that would be a perfect task for prompt based AI code generation. Like "Here are the specs of SFZ and GigaFont formats, write me a converter in Python to go from one to the other". Maybe a few hours of tweaking, probably more to get every corner case.

When I was on Windows, I had and used the Chickensys translator product. It converted my gig instruments to SFZ flawlessly. I’ve never bothered trying it on wine because I stopped using anything that wasn’t sfz. But I know that there are quality converters around. I may have to go search for it and experiment someday when I have time.

Not in this decade. No LLM-trained model can infer the deltas in semantics between two encoding specs written without regard to machine readability; getting even "reasonably close" to what a moderately-competent human programmer would write is ludicrous.

Semantics trump syntax, every time.

Maybe gig conversion could be added to ConvertWithMoss?
It already supports converting many formats.
