~~=== Sample players for Linux ===~~

[https://www.linuxsampler.org/about.html LinuxSampler] supports the SFZ file format used below. Usage is beyond the scope of this article, but we have loaded the samples into it to check compatibility. The easiest way to make it work is using a graphical plug-in host such as Carla. If you have audio experience in Linux, you should be able to get it to work. If you are a beginner wanting to experiment with Linux audio, we suggest you start with a distribution called [http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org KXStudio]. It works well on old PCs with good sound cards.
