.SH SYNOPSIS |
5 |
.B linuxsampler |
6 |
[OPTIONS] |
7 |
.SH DESCRIPTION |
8 |
LinuxSampler is a modular, streaming capable sampler. The sampler is designed as |
9 |
backend, that is server-like console application. You will need a frontend |
10 |
application like QSampler or JSampler to control the sampler and manage sampler |
11 |
sessions. Or you have to send LSCP commands manually to the sampler e.g. by |
12 |
using telnet or netcat. |
13 |
.SH OPTIONS |
14 |
.IP "--help" |
15 |
Print command line help and exit. |
16 |
.IP "--version" |
17 |
Print version information and exit. |
18 |
.IP "--profile" |
19 |
Output benchmark messages on the console. This reflects the current |
20 |
efficiency as abstract BogoVoice count which is something like a |
21 |
theoretical limit of the amount of voices which can be rendered in the given |
22 |
scenario. It does not include all aspects of the sampler, that's why this |
23 |
value is usually higher than what you really can achieve on your box. Also |
24 |
note that this value is as well dependant on what instrument patch you are |
25 |
using and what you are playing. |
26 |
For a compact synthesis core benchmark, independent from drivers and |
27 |
instrument files, you might want to use the one coming with the sampler's |
28 |
source files instead (directory "benchmarks" of the source files). |
29 |
.IP "--no-tune" |
30 |
Disable assembly optimizations. Usually the sampler will detect CPU specific |
31 |
features like MMX and SSE at runtime and use an appropriate assembly |
32 |
optimized code in that case. With that switch you can disable this feature |
33 |
and force the sampler to skip the assembly optimizations at runtime. |
34 |
.IP "--statistics" |
35 |
Output voice and disk stream count periodically on the console. |
36 |
.IP "--lscp-addr IPADDRESS" |
37 |
Defines IP address on which the LSCP server should listen to (default: any). |
38 |
.IP "--lscp-port NUMBER" |
39 |
Defines TCP port on which the LSCP server should listen to (default: 8888). |
40 |
.IP "--create-instruments-db FILE" |
41 |
Creates a database file with the given filename which can be used by the |
42 |
sampler's instruments database system to maintain the user's collection of |
43 |
instrument libraries. When this argument is given, the sampler will just |
44 |
create the instruments DB file and exit. |
45 |
.IP "--instruments-db-location FILE" |
46 |
Overrides the location of the database file, which the sampler shall use for |
47 |
its instruments database system |
48 |
(default: @config_default_instruments_db_file@). |
