General Software Questions

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my malletkat sound and am looking into laptop midi setups so that I can use proprietary samples instead of the gigkat sound modules endorsed by Alternate Mode.

Q1: What samples do you use? (Some appear to require a much heavier laptop than others)

Q2: What software midi sampler application do you use to play these samples?

Q3: What make/year laptop do you use to run the player without audio glitches?

Q4: What usb midi interface do you use to connect the malletkat to the laptop?
