Qsampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around |
| 5 |
capela |
1509 |
the Qt4 toolkit using Qt Designer. At the moment it just wraps as a client |
| 6 |
capela |
77 |
reference interface for the LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP). |
| 7 |
|
|
|
| 8 |
|
|
LinuxSampler is a work in progress. The goal is to produce a free, open source |
| 9 |
|
|
pure software audio sampler with professional grade features, comparable to |
| 10 |
|
|
both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers. |
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
The initial platform will be Linux because it is one of the most promising |
| 13 |
|
|
open source multimedia operating systems. Thanks to various kernel patches |
| 14 |
|
|
and the Jack Audio Connection Kit, Linux is currently able to deliver rock |
| 15 |
|
|
solid sub-5 millisecond MIDI-to-Audio response. |

Requirements |
| 24 |
|
|
------------ |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
The software requirements for build and runtime are listed as follows: |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
Mandatory: |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
- Qt 4 (core, gui), C++ class library and tools for |
| 31 |
|
|
crossplatform development and internationalization |
| 32 |
|
|
http://www.trolltech.org/products/qt/ |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
- liblscp, C library for LinuxSampler control protocol API. |
| 35 |
|
|
http://www.linuxsampler.org/ |
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
Optional (opted-in at build time): |
| 38 |
|
|
|
| 39 |
|
|
- libgig, C++ library for loading and modifying Gigasampler and DLS files. |
| 40 |

Installation |
| 44 |
|
|
------------ |
| 45 |
|
|
|
| 46 |
|
|
The installation procedure follows the standard for source distributions. |
| 47 |
|
|
Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory: |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
./configure [--prefix=/usr/local] |
| 50 |
|
|
make |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
and optionally as root: |
| 53 |
|
|
|
| 54 |
|
|
make install |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
This procedure will end installing the following couple of files: |
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
${prefix}/bin/qsampler |
| 59 |
capela |
1258 |
${prefix}/share/pixmaps/qsampler.png |
| 60 |
|
|
${prefix}/share/applications/qsampler.desktop |
| 61 |
capela |
2048 |
${prefix}/share/locale/qsampler_*.qm |
| 62 |
capela |
77 |
|
| 63 |
|
|
Just launch ${prefix}/bin/qsampler and you're off (hopefully). |
| 64 |
|
|
|
| 65 |
|
|
Note that the default installation path ${prefix} is /usr/local. |
| 66 |
|
|
|
| 67 |
capela |
1258 |
If you're checking out from CVS, you'll have to prepare the configure |
| 68 |
|
|
script just before you proceed with the above instructions: |
| 69 |
capela |
77 |
|
| 70 |
capela |
1258 |
make -f Makefile.cvs |
| 71 |
|
|
|
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |

77 |
Configuration |
| 74 |
|
|
------------- |
| 75 |
|
|
|
| 76 |
capela |
1509 |
Qsampler holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a |
| 77 |
|
|
file located as $HOME/.config/linuxsampler.org/Qsampler.conf . |
| 78 |
|
|
Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and |
| 79 |
|
|
rewritten everytime qsampler is run. |
