Coding a Soft-Sampler

[APS]

I'm new to the world of DSP programming, but I have goal and the only
way to acheive it is to learn how to do it myself. I want to build a
Mac-compatible soft-sampler in Xcode or port it over if I have to do it
entirely in C. I'm here to ask if there are any books or resources
available on the net that touch upon coding soft-samplers? Try as I
might, all stones seem to turn up focused strictly on synthesis or
filtering.

Are there any open source software samplers on the market? Ultimately
I'd like to create a program akin to VSAMP or Vsampler. Any help or
advice would be greatly appreciated!

is a "soft-sampler" the same as a "soft-synth" where the snthesis
method is the playback of samples (in the electronic music sense of the
word "sample")?

do you know how to talk to MIDI (in a C program) and to output samples
(in the DSP sense of the word) to the computer output? if you can't do
that, we can't help because it is quite machine specific.

You should take a look at www.linuxsampler.org. Those guys are implementing
a software-sampler that is currently able to use Gigastudio-compatible
sample-libraries (I think Akai-format is also in the works).
