На тот случай, если кому-то придёт в голову заюзать "железный"
семплер под Linux :-)

Кстати, Рома, этот тот самый Брайан Редферн, о котором ты говорил?

The new roland smaplers all have direct usb connections, but it
depends upon whether its just treated a a standard usb storage
device, or whether they use some proprietary driver system, I
believe its the former. But I do interact with a hardware sampler
all the time, I use a usb zip drive to open files from my asrx pro.
I still do a lot of midi work, so I use rosegarden to sequence my
asrx and then make up samples with various programs under linux and
then dump them in aiff format onto a dos formatted zip disk and then
sneaker-net it to the scsi zip on my asrx.

For better integration I'd need to add a scsi card and then I could
share the scsi zip with the asrx, in my sampler's manual its goes
over how to setup the scsi terminators properly to share the scsi
between the computer and the sampler, and in that case you just
mount the zip drive as a dos drive and copy your aiff files over.

In terms of software like emagic sound diver, there isn't much in
the way of front ends for hardware, I'm working on learning enough C
to write an alsa/gtk app that can work like the sound diver front
end for my adrenalinn stomp box.
