<h2>General</h2> |
| 126 |
<p class="default"> |
| 127 |
LinuxSampler is a work in progress. The goal is to produce a free, open source pure software audio sampler |
| 128 |
with professional grade features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers |
| 129 |
and to introduce new features not yet available by any other sampler in the world.<br> |
| 130 |
<br> |
| 131 |
LinuxSampler was designed as a sampler backend, decoupled from any user interface. It provides a native C++ |
| 132 |
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface">API</a> as well as a network interface |
| 133 |
using an ASCII based protocol called <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/api/draft-linuxsampler-protocol.html">LSCP</a> |
| 134 |
for controlling the sampler and managing sampler sessions. But don't be afraid, with QSampler (based on the |
| 135 |
cross-platform C++ GUI library Qt) and JSampler (Java based, thus platform independent) we already have two convenient |
| 136 |
frontends for LinuxSampler and due to the |
| 137 |
decoupled design you can even control the sampler with the GUI frontend(s) from another computer, probably even running |
| 138 |
another OS like Windows or OS X. Beside our own custom network control layer we planned to add existing ones as well |
| 139 |
(e.g. <a href="http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/">OSC</a>). With the planned SMP and cluster support |
| 140 |
LinuxSampler might become a very interesting tool for high-end studios and concerts in future.<br> |
| 141 |
<br> |
| 142 |
It is planned to support all common sampler formats in LinuxSampler, but at the moment we chose to concentrate on the |
| 143 |
Gigasampler format, because when we started this project, the Gigasampler format was (in our opinion) the most popular |
| 144 |
and "best" sampler format in regards of quality and power, especially |
| 145 |
for the synthesis of natural instruments like pianos, brass and bowed instruments. But we already made good advance in |
| 146 |
implementing this format, so we are optimistic to start with adding other formats soon. Beside that we also planned to |
| 147 |
design our own, sophisticated sampler format to introduce a more powerful and more flexible sampler format compared to |
| 148 |
any sampler format currently available in the world. Be encouraged to share your ideas about such a new format with us!<br> |
| 149 |

Anyway, there are so many things to do and our hands are limited. So don't hesitate on participating to the project! |
