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 the first version of the Gigasampler style filters. + +Stéphane Letz was responsible for the initial 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 improvements regarding the +Gigasampler format handling. Especially the Gigasmpler v3 and v4 format support +was developed by him. He also had his hands on a lot of quality and efficiency +improvements all over the place, numerous bug fixes, and also developed the base +host plugin system and implemented support for the sampler being used as VST, +DSSI and LV2 plugin. He also did a lot on implementing and extending the SFZ2 +format engine. + +Grigor Iliev added and implemented LSCP +commands for muting and solo-ing sampler channels, added sostenuto pedal +support, implemented the instruments database system and the Audio Unit +plugin version of the sampler for Mac and fixed a lot of bugs. Later on Grigor +was the major force behind unification of the sampler's complex engine code +base to a set of abstract base classes, which finally cleared the way for +providing multiple sampler formats with LinuxSampler. As a consequence of this +work he subsequently added the initial implementations of the SoundFont2 and +SFZ2 sampler engines to LinuxSampler. + +Toshi Nagata was responsible for the initial OS X port and added autoconf +support to the XCode project file. + +Smaller (but not necessarily minor) patches were received from the following +people: + + James Klicman + "Gene" a.k.a Anders Alm + Ebrahim Mayat + Juan Linietsky + Till Wimmer + Ronald Baljeu + Alexis Ballier + Andrew Williams + Devin Anderson + Chris Cherrett + David Robillard + Luis Garrido
