146 <h3>Abstract</h3>
147
148 <p>The LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP) is an
149 application-level protocol primarily intended for local and
150 remote controlling the LinuxSampler backend application, which is a
151 sophisticated server-like console application essentially playing
152 back audio samples and manipulating the samples in real time to
153 certain extent.

328 <a name="rfc.section.1"></a><h3>1.&nbsp;Requirements notation</h3>
329
330 <p>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL",
331 "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
332 and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as
333 described in <a class="info" href="#RFC2119">[RFC2119]<span>Bradner, S., Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels, 1997.</span></a>.
334 </p>
335 <p>This protocol is always case-sensitive if not explicitly
336 claimed the opposite.
337 </p>
338 <p>In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client
339 (front-end) and server (LinuxSampler) respectively. Lines in
340 examples must be interpreted as every line being CRLF
341 terminated (carriage return character followed by line feed
342 character as defined in the ASCII standard), thus the following
343 example:
344 </p>
345 <p></p>
346 <blockquote class="text">
347 <p>C: "some line"
348 </p>
349 <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"another line"
350 </p>
351 </blockquote>
352
353 <p>must actually be interpreted as client sending the following
354 message:
355 </p>
356 <p></p>
357 <blockquote class="text">
358 <p>"some line&lt;CR&gt;&lt;LF&gt;another
359 line&lt;CR&gt;&lt;LF&gt;"
360 </p>
361 </blockquote>
362
363 <p>where &lt;CR&gt; symbolizes the carriage return character and
364 &lt;LF&gt; the line feed character as defined in the ASCII
365 standard.
366 </p>
367 <p>Due to technical reasons, messages can arbitrary be
368 fragmented, means the following example:
369 </p>
370 <p></p>
371 <blockquote class="text">
372 <p>S: "abcd"
373 </p>
374 </blockquote>
375
376 <p>could also happen to be sent in three messages like in the
377 following sequence scenario:
378 </p>
379 <p></p>
380 <ul class="text">
381 <li>server sending message "a"
382 </li>
383 <li>followed by a delay (pause) with

402 <a name="rfc.section.2"></a><h3>2.&nbsp;Versioning of this specification</h3>
403
404 <p>LSCP will certainly be extended and enhanced by-and-by. Each official
405 release of the LSCP specification will be tagged with a unique version
406 tuple. The version tuple consists at least of a major and minor version
407 number like:
408
409 </p>
410 <p></p>
411 <blockquote class="text">
412 <p>"1.2"
413 </p>
414 </blockquote>
415
416 <p>
417 In this example the major version number would be "1" and the minor
418 version number would be "2". Note that the version tuple might also
419 have more than two elements. The major version number defines a
420 group of backward compatible versions. That means a frontend is
421 compatible to the connected sampler if and only if the LSCP versions
422 to which each of the two parties complies to, match both of the
423 following rules:
424
425 </p>
426 <p>Compatibility:
427 </p>
428 <p></p>
429 <ol class="text">
430 <li>The frontend's LSCP major version and the sampler's LSCP
431 major version are exactly equal.
432 </li>
433 <li>The frontend's LSCP minor version is less or equal than
434 the sampler's LSCP minor version.
435 </li>
436 </ol>
437
438 <p>
439 Compatibility can only be claimed if both rules are true.
440 The frontend can use the
441 <a class="info" href="#GET SERVER INFO">"GET SERVER INFO"<span>General sampler informations</span></a> command to
442 get the version of the LSCP specification the sampler complies with.

447 <a name="rfc.section.3"></a><h3>3.&nbsp;Introduction</h3>
448
449 <p>LinuxSampler is a so called software sampler application
450 capable to playback audio samples from a computer's Random
451 Access Memory (RAM) as well as directly streaming it from disk.
452 LinuxSampler is designed to be modular. It provides several so
453 called "sampler engines" where each engine is specialized for a
454 certain purpose. LinuxSampler has virtual channels which will be
455 referred in this document as "sampler channels". The channels
456 are in such way virtual as they can be connected to an
457 arbitrary MIDI input method and arbitrary MIDI channel (e.g.
458 sampler channel 17 could be connected to an ALSA sequencer
459 device 64:0 and listening to MIDI channel 1 there). Each sampler
460 channel will be associated with an instance of one of the available
461 sampler engines (e.g. GigEngine, DLSEngine). The audio output of
462 each sampler channel can be routed to an arbitrary audio output
463 method (ALSA / JACK) and an arbitrary audio output channel
464 there.

469
470 <p>Main focus of this protocol is to provide a way to configure
471 a running LinuxSampler instance and to retrieve information
472 about it. The focus of this protocol is not to provide a way to
473 control synthesis parameters or even to trigger or release
474 notes. Or in other words; the focus are those functionalities
475 which are not covered by MIDI or which may at most be handled
476 via MIDI System Exclusive Messages.

480 <a name="rfc.section.5"></a><h3>5.&nbsp;Communication Overview</h3>
481
482 <p>There are two distinct methods of communication between a
483 running instance of LinuxSampler and one or more control
484 applications, so called "front-ends": a simple request/response
485 communication method used by the clients to give commands to the
486 server as well as to inquire about server's status and a
487 subscribe/notify communication method used by the client to
488 subscribe to and receive notifications of certain events as they
489 happen on the server. The latter needs more effort to be
490 implemented in the front-end application. The two communication
491 methods will be described next.
492 </p>
493 <a name="rfc.section.5.1"></a><h4><a name="anchor5">5.1</a>&nbsp;Request/response communication method</h4>
494
495 <p>This simple communication method is based on
496 <a class="info" href="#RFC793">TCP<span>Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL, 1981.</span></a>[RFC793]. The
497 front-end application establishes a TCP connection to the
498 LinuxSampler instance on a certain host system. Then the
499 front-end application will send certain ASCII based commands
500 as defined in this document (every command line must be CRLF
501 terminated - see "Conventions used in this document" at the
502 beginning of this document) and the LinuxSampler application
503 will response after a certain process time with an
504 appropriate ASCII based answer, also as defined in this
505 document. So this TCP communication is simply based on query
506 and answer paradigm. That way LinuxSampler is only able to
507 answer on queries from front-ends, but not able to
508 automatically send messages to the client if it's not asked
509 to. The fronted should not reconnect to LinuxSampler for
510 every single command, instead it should keep the connection
511 established and simply resend message(s) for subsequent
512 commands. To keep information in the front-end up-to-date
513 the front-end has to periodically send new requests to get
514 the current information from the LinuxSampler instance. This
515 is often referred to as "polling". While polling is simple
516 to implement and may be OK to use in some cases, there may
517 be disadvantages to polling such as network traffic overhead
518 and information being out of date.
519 It is possible for a client or several clients to open more
520 than one connection to the server at the same time. It is
521 also possible to send more than one request to the server
522 at the same time but if those requests are sent over the
523 same connection server MUST execute them sequentially. Upon
524 executing a request server will produce a result set and
525 send it to the client. Each and every request made by the
526 client MUST result in a result set being sent back to the
527 client. No other data other than a result set may be sent by
528 a server to a client. No result set may be sent to a client
529 without the client sending request to the server first. On
530 any particular connection, result sets MUST be sent in their
531 entirety without being interrupted by other result sets. If
532 several requests got queued up at the server they MUST be
533 processed in the order they were received and result sets
534 MUST be sent back in the same order.
535 </p>
536 <a name="rfc.section.5.1.1"></a><h4><a name="anchor6">5.1.1</a>&nbsp;Result format</h4>
537
538 <p>Result set could be one of the following types:
539 </p>
540 <p></p>
541 <ol class="text">
542 <li>Normal
543 </li>
544 <li>Warning
545 </li>
546 <li>Error
547 </li>
548 </ol>
549
550 <p>Warning and Error result sets MUST be single line and
551 have the following format:
552 </p>
553 <p></p>
554 <ul class="text">
555 <li>"WRN:&lt;warning-code&gt;:&lt;warning-message&gt;"
556 </li>
557 <li>"ERR:&lt;error-code&gt;:&lt;error-message&gt;"
558 </li>
559 </ul>
560
561 <p>Where &lt;warning-code&gt; and &lt;error-code&gt; are
562 numeric unique identifiers of the warning or error and
563 &lt;warning-message&gt; and &lt;error-message&gt; are
564 human readable descriptions of the warning or error
565 respectively.
566 </p>
567 <p>Examples:

590 </p>
591 </blockquote>
592
593 <p>Normal result sets could be:
594 </p>
595 <p></p>
596 <ol class="text">
597 <li>Empty
598 </li>
599 <li>Single line
600 </li>
601 <li>Multi-line
602 </li>
603 </ol>
604
605 <p> Empty result set is issued when the server only
606 needed to acknowledge the fact that the request was
607 received and it was processed successfully and no
608 additional information is available. This result set has
609 the following format:
610 </p>
611 <p></p>
612 <blockquote class="text">
613 <p>"OK"
614 </p>

622 </p>
623 <p>S: "OK"
624 </p>
625 </blockquote>
626
627 <p>Single line result sets are command specific. One
628 example of a single line result set is an empty line.
629 Multi-line result sets are command specific and may
630 include one or more lines of information. They MUST
631 always end with the following line:
632 </p>
633 <p></p>
634 <blockquote class="text">

636 </p>
637 </blockquote>
638

660 </p>
661 </blockquote>
662
663 <p>In addition to above mentioned formats, warnings and
664 empty result sets MAY be indexed. In this case, they
665 have the following formats respectively:
666 </p>
667 <p></p>
668 <ul class="text">
669 <li>"WRN[&lt;index&gt;]:&lt;warning-code&gt;:&lt;warning-message&gt;"

671 <li>"OK[&lt;index&gt;]"
672 </li>
673 </ul>
674
675 <p>where &lt;index&gt; is command specific and is used
676 to indicate channel number that the result set was
677 related to or other integer value.
678 </p>
679 <p>Each line of the result set MUST end with
680 &lt;CRLF&gt;.

700 <a name="rfc.section.5.2"></a><h4><a name="anchor7">5.2</a>&nbsp;Subscribe/notify communication method</h4>
701
702 <p>This more sophisticated communication method is actually
703 only an extension of the simple request/response
704 communication method. The front-end still uses a TCP
705 connection and sends the same commands on the TCP
706 connection. Two extra commands are SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE
707 commands that allow a client to tell the server that it is
708 interested in receiving notifications about certain events
709 as they happen on the server. The SUBSCRIBE command has the
710 following syntax:
711 </p>
712 <p></p>
713 <blockquote class="text">
714 <p>SUBSCRIBE &lt;event-id&gt;
715 </p>
716 </blockquote>
717
718 <p>where &lt;event-id&gt; will be replaced by the respective
719 event that client wants to subscribe to. Upon receiving such
720 request, server SHOULD respond with OK and start sending
721 EVENT notifications when a given even has occurred to the
722 front-end when an event has occurred. It MAY be possible
723 certain events may be sent before OK response during real
724 time nature of their generation. Event messages have the
725 following format:
726 </p>
727 <p></p>
728 <blockquote class="text">
729 <p>NOTIFY:&lt;event-id&gt;:&lt;custom-event-data&gt;
730 </p>
731 </blockquote>
732
733 <p>where &lt;event-id&gt; uniquely identifies the event that
734 has occurred and &lt;custom-event-data&gt; is event
735 specific.
736 </p>
737 <p>Several rules must be followed by the server when
738 generating events:
739 </p>
740 <p></p>
741 <ol class="text">
742 <li>Events MUST NOT be sent to any client who has not
743 issued an appropriate SUBSCRIBE command.
744 </li>
745 <li>Events MUST only be sent using the same
746 connection that was used to subscribe to them.
747 </li>
748 <li>When response is being sent to the client, event
749 MUST be inserted in the stream before or after the
750 response, but NOT in the middle. Same is true about
751 the response. It should never be inserted in the
752 middle of the event message as well as any other
753 response.
754 </li>
755 </ol>
756
757 <p>If the client is not interested in a particular event
758 anymore it MAY issue UNSUBSCRIBE command using the following
759 syntax:
760 </p>
761 <p></p>
762 <blockquote class="text">
763 <p>UNSUBSCRIBE &lt;event-id&gt;
764 </p>
765 </blockquote>
766
767 <p>where &lt;event-id&gt; will be replace by the respective
768 event that client is no longer interested in receiving. For
769 a list of supported events see <a class="info" href="#events">Section 8<span>Events</span></a>.
770 </p>
771 <p>Example: the fill states of disk stream buffers have
772 changed on sampler channel 4 and the LinuxSampler instance
773 will react by sending the following message to all clients
774 who subscribed to this event:
775 </p>
776 <p></p>
777 <blockquote class="text">
778 <p>NOTIFY:CHANNEL_BUFFER_FILL:4 [35]62%,[33]80%,[37]98%
779 </p>
780 </blockquote>
781
782 <p>Which means there are currently three active streams on
783 sampler channel 4, where the stream with ID "35" is filled
784 by 62%, stream with ID 33 is filled by 80% and stream with
785 ID 37 is filled by 98%.
786 </p>
787 <p>Clients may choose to open more than one connection to
788 the server and use some connections to receive notifications
789 while using other connections to issue commands to the
790 back-end. This is entirely legal and up to the
791 implementation. This does not change the protocol in any way
792 and no special restrictions exist on the server to allow or
793 disallow this or to track what connections belong to what
794 front-ends. Server will listen on a single port, accept
795 multiple connections and support protocol described in this
796 specification in it's entirety on this single port on each
797 connection that it accepted.
798 </p>
799 <p>Due to the fact that TCP is used for this communication,
800 dead peers will be detected automatically by the OS TCP
801 stack. While it may take a while to detect dead peers if no
802 traffic is being sent from server to client (TCP keep-alive
803 timer is set to 2 hours on many OSes) it will not be an
804 issue here as when notifications are sent by the server,
805 dead client will be detected quickly.
806 </p>
807 <p>When connection is closed for any reason server MUST
808 forget all subscriptions that were made on this connection.
809 If client reconnects it MUST resubscribe to all events that
810 it wants to receive.

815
816 <p>This chapter will describe the available control commands
817 that can be sent on the TCP connection in detail. Some certain
818 commands (e.g. <a class="info" href="#GET CHANNEL INFO">"GET CHANNEL INFO"<span>Getting sampler channel information</span></a>
819 or <a class="info" href="#GET ENGINE INFO">"GET ENGINE INFO"<span>Getting information about an engine</span></a>) lead to
820 multiple-line responses. In this case LinuxSampler signals the
821 end of the response by a "." (single dot) line.
822 </p>
823 <a name="rfc.section.6.1"></a><h4><a name="anchor8">6.1</a>&nbsp;Ignored lines and comments</h4>
824
825 <p>White lines, that is lines which only contain space and
826 tabulator characters, and lines that start with a "#"
827 character are ignored, thus it's possible for example to
828 group commands and to place comments in a LSCP script
829 file.
830 </p>
831 <a name="rfc.section.6.2"></a><h4><a name="anchor9">6.2</a>&nbsp;Configuring audio drivers</h4>
832
833 <p>Instances of drivers in LinuxSampler are called devices.
834 You can use multiple audio devices simultaneously, e.g. to
835 output the sound of one sampler channel using the ALSA audio
836 output driver, and on another sampler channel you might want
837 to use the JACK audio output driver. For particular audio
838 output systems it's also possible to create several devices
839 of the same audio output driver, e.g. two separate ALSA
840 audio output devices for using two different sound cards at
841 the same time. This chapter describes all commands to
842 configure LinuxSampler's audio output devices and their
843 parameters.
844 </p>
845 <p>Instead of defining commands and parameters for each
846 driver individually, all possible parameters, their meanings
847 and possible values have to be obtained at runtime. This
848 makes the protocol a bit abstract, but has the advantage,
849 that front-ends can be written independently of what drivers
850 are currently implemented and what parameters these drivers
851 are actually offering. This means front-ends can even handle
852 drivers which are implemented somewhere in future without
853 modifying the front-end at all.
854 </p>
855 <p>Note: examples in this chapter showing particular
856 parameters of drivers are not meant as specification of the
857 drivers' parameters. Driver implementations in LinuxSampler
858 might have complete different parameter names and meanings
859 than shown in these examples or might change in future, so
860 these examples are only meant for showing how to retrieve
861 what parameters drivers are offering, how to retrieve their
862 possible values, etc.

1897 <a name="rfc.section.6.3"></a><h4><a name="anchor10">6.3</a>&nbsp;Configuring MIDI input drivers</h4>
1898
1899 <p>Instances of drivers in LinuxSampler are called devices. You can use
1900 multiple MIDI devices simultaneously, e.g. to use MIDI over ethernet as
1901 MIDI input on one sampler channel and ALSA as MIDI input on another sampler
1902 channel. For particular MIDI input systems it's also possible to create
1903 several devices of the same MIDI input type. This chapter describes all
1904 commands to configure LinuxSampler's MIDI input devices and their parameters.
1905 </p>
1906 <p>Instead of defining commands and parameters for each driver individually,
1907 all possible parameters, their meanings and possible values have to be obtained
1908 at runtime. This makes the protocol a bit abstract, but has the advantage, that
1909 front-ends can be written independently of what drivers are currently implemented
1910 and what parameters these drivers are actually offering. This means front-ends can
1911 even handle drivers which are implemented somewhere in future without modifying
1912 the front-end at all.
1913 </p>
1914 <p>Commands for configuring MIDI input devices are pretty much the same as the
1915 commands for configuring audio output drivers, already described in the last
1916 chapter.
1917 </p>
1918 <p>Note: examples in this chapter showing particular parameters of drivers are
1919 not meant as specification of the drivers' parameters. Driver implementations in
1920 LinuxSampler might have complete different parameter names and meanings than shown
1921 in these examples or might change in future, so these examples are only meant for
1922 showing how to retrieve what parameters drivers are offering, how to retrieve their
1923 possible values, etc.

2789 <p>The difference between regular and NON_MODAL versions of the command
2790 is that the regular command returns OK only after the instrument has been
2791 fully loaded and the channel is ready to be used while NON_MODAL version
2792 returns immediately and a background process is launched to load the instrument
2793 on the channel. The <a class="info" href="#GET CHANNEL INFO">GET CHANNEL INFO<span>Getting sampler channel information</span></a>
2794 command can be used to obtain loading
2795 progress from INSTRUMENT_STATUS field. LOAD command will perform sanity checks
2796 such as making sure that the file could be read and it is of a proper format
2797 and SHOULD return ERR and SHOULD not launch the background process should any

4867 <p>where &lt;sampler-channel&gt; will be replaced by the sampler channel the
4868 channel info change occurred. The front-end will have to send
4869 the respective command to actually get the channel info. Because these messages
4870 will be triggered by LSCP commands issued by other clients rather than real
4871 time events happening on the server, it is believed that an empty notification
4872 message is sufficient here.

4900
4901 <p>As there is so far no method of authentication and authorization
4902 defined and so not required for a client applications to succeed to
4903 connect, running LinuxSampler might be a security risk for the host
4904 system the LinuxSampler instance is running on.
