Benno Senoner originally wrote the proof-of-concept code "Evo". Maybe we can get him to contribute again one day. ;-) Christian Schoenebeck was and is currently the main author of LinuxSampler. Vladimir Senkov was the first one who actively joined the development of this application. He was especially involved in designing the network protocol "LSCP" and it's implementation on LinuxSampler side and in developing the MMX/SSE(1) assembly optimizations. Not to forget the huge list of bugs he fixed. Steve Harris made the filter impulse response analysis of the Gigasampler filters and developed an adequate filter solution for the Gigasampler engine of LinuxSampler. Stéphane Letz was responsible for the OS X port and fixed couple of bugs. Rui Nuno Capela was also especially involved in the "LSCP" design and implementation. Andreas Persson made a lot of important fixes and improvents regarding the Gigasampler format handling. Especially the Gigasmpler v3 format support was developed by him. He also fixed couple of general bugs. Smaller (but not necessarily minor) patches were received from the following people: James Klicman "Gene" a.k.a Anders Alm Grigor Iliev
