Why do you want to keep the whole sample in memory? As long as enough of

it is in memory to handle the immediate attack, it should be fine to

stream the rest of it. I believe that's what LinuxSampler does, and it

works very well with the 2GB Salamander Grand Piano, without needing to

take up 2GB of RAM.
