Some questions for building a new instrument

Hi Willy,

1. Yes, the distributed samples partition is too small for serious use
   
2. There is no need to use all 16 velocity levels. I suggest using the version Hans modified with for latency, accurate velocity and enough levels for the instruments tone on different strengths of playing. It's in the downloads area.
   
3. Using audio hats like hifiberry just requires adapting the PI's config.txt as explained in that file
   
4. I'd say latency values are good, but that's both a personal as a tough subject. You'll find a quite technical FAQ in the docs, also touching the Salamander.
   
5. You can use/omit all optionals as per your requirements
   

These answers are very short as I'm just repeating the docs (which are accurate as far as I can judge) - I suggest reading them for more details as well as for answers to next questions you surely will get

Have fun, Noek.

Thanks Noek, I will consider your advise and also read carefully the whole doc !
