I wish there was one. At the moment, the closest are TAL-Sampler or Disco DSP’s Bliss Sampler—both not free. Hopefully later this year we’ll have SCXT (ShortCircuit-XT).

I agree with almost all of it. I also agree that TX16Wx is the best available sampler with an open format. It’s too bad that it doesn’t have native linux support and that the Pro version uses challenge/response copy protection. I would add Surge-XT and Vaporizer 2, but aside from that, the article is quite complete and well done! I also like that you explain your reasons for your choices. Good job!
Also, what is the substitute for TX16Wx for Linux (ideally vst3 since it is universally supported)

C/R, dongles & other intrusive copy protection equals less-control & more-hassle for consumers. Company gone-can’t authorize. Limit to # of auths. Instability-ie PACE. Forced internet auths. THE HONEST ARE HASSLED, NOT THE PIRATES.

It’s probably not as advanced as tx16wx, not sure if it has Multi sampling but maybe simplicity is a good thing.

Interesting! I remember when that came out, but I had completely forgotten about it! It looks like something similar to Ableton Simpler.

Updated that post, added this as a Linux option, i also added a lot of links for sampled instruments, mostly decent sampler, some are for kontakt which can be converted.Took NI komplete as reference for what instruments i need to search.audiojunkie wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:46 pm Interesting!

I guess i will keep updating it if i find something new. I want to make a list of free vintage synth emulations as well when i have some time.
