Support for 24-bit samples. It just so happens that the only GIG file I have that is 24-bit also has the key changing dimension set, so I implemented that so I could compare the output sound with that of Linux Sampler. It still sounds different, brighter in LMMS. Not sure if that has to do with gain, ADSR, or incorrect 24-bit decoding. I'm guessing ADSR. There were many crashing issues when playing notes when changing patches/instruments. More locking, less crashing. However, this also means that it is quite slow when playing a lot of notes with large samples and converting sample rates. Linux Sampler amazingly can handle 36 or so keys being pressed at once whereas LMMS nowhere near that many at the moment.

What is LMMS?
LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio®, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more; all in a user-friendly and modern interface.
