Looks pretty good from the web page! How does this differ from Decent Sampler though? There's probably obvious differences but I haven't had a chance to dive into figuring that out for myself.

You should see if you can get a mention on the Sonic State / Sonic Talk podcast. Especially if you can get on episode with Yoad Nevo (the guy behind so many of the Waves plugins), or Ty Unwin and his Kontakt-based composing for the BBC. They'd probably have good constructive feedback while giving you a mention. I think Sonic Talk use Decent Sampler for their sample libraries for members, but maybe this will convince them to switch to Floe?

Thank for the excellent suggestions! I'll definitely take a look.

Perhaps the key difference is that Decent Sampler allows you to create a custom GUI for your sample library. Floe does not, it's a standard, complete set of parameters that explore into the realm of sample-based-synthesis moreso than just performing virtual instruments.

I do wonder about offering an API for creating custom GUIs, but I'm unsure how it would interact with the existing firmly ingrained GUI. Maybe it would have to be a wrapper API mostly - allowing sample libraries to 'grab' into the existing set of parameters and expose and reconfigure them into custom elements.
