JMAGE Sampler is a Linux based sampler that can run as stand alone JACK application or as an LV2 Plugin. The goal of JMAGE Sampler is to be able to create many zoned, multi layered patches quickly from scratch, with all the controls up front and tweakable in real time.

What JMAGE Sampler is NOT is a disk streaming sampler. All samples are loaded in memory. JMAGE Sampler can read SFZ files, but only parses the fields it currently supports. There are NO guarantees that an arbitrary SFZ file will not crash the sampler, especially if the patch is intended for disk streaming.

Patches can be saved in SFZ or JMZ format, an extension to SFZ that also stores JMAGE Sampler specific fields. JMZ should be preferred for normal usage.
