+Description
+-----------
 
 LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It
 provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol
 called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. You either
 have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting via
 'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or you might want to use a graphical user
-interface (frontend) like QSampler.
+interface (frontend) like QSampler (C++/Qt based) or JSampler (Java based).
