features and behaviors only available in the very latest, bleeding |

The following documents define the <i>LinuxSampler Control Protocol</i>, |

a network protocol with which LinuxSampler can be controlled locally as well as remotely. |
| 247 |
As this is a simple ASCII based protocol it's possible to write a frontend for LinuxSampler in |
| 248 |
any programming language and GUI library. There's still a big demand especially for a Gtk and |
| 249 |
ncurses based frontend, so be encouraged and let |
| 250 |
<a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/developers.html">us</a> know if you wrote a frontend for |

LinuxSampler! |

examples to give you a good starting point for writing your own ones. Adjust it to your needs |

and send it to the running linuxsampler application with: |

Optionally you can also use a graphical frontend like QSampler one time to setup a working |
| 359 |
sampler session for your needs and save it. Because you have to know that the files saved |
| 360 |
by our frontends are actually pure LSCP scripts, thus you can i.e. use those files simply with |
| 361 |
the mentioned netcat command from above to setup the sampler session without a frontend. |

Here is a simple LSCP example which uses ALSA as MIDI input and as audio output driver as well, |
| 365 |
it creates only one sampler channel using the Gigasampler engine and loads a Piano instrument |
| 366 |
on that sampler channel: |
| 367 |

| 372 |
# (parameter CARD is optional, I use it here to select my 2nd sound card |
| 373 |
# you can use 'GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO ALSA CARD' to get |
| 374 |
# all available sound cards) |
| 375 |

The next example uses JACK as audio output driver instead and automatically connects the two |
| 399 |
output channels of LS's JACK client to the first two ALSA PCM channels, so you can hear |
| 400 |
something without having to manually connect it e.g. with qjackctl: |

The next example is a bit more complex. |
| 436 |
It shows how to setup a more realistic sampler session, handle routing of MIDI input channels, |
| 437 |
handle routing of audio channels, it uses JACK again as audio |
| 438 |
output driver, but creates the JACK client with four output channels instead, it creates two |
| 439 |
sampler channels, loads two different instrument on those two sampler channels and alters |
| 440 |
the audio channel routing so that the two output channels of sampler channel 1 are routed to |
| 441 |
the first two JACK output channels and the two output channels of sampler channel 2 are routed |
| 442 |
the second pair of the JACK client's output channels. That way you could e.g. record the output |
| 443 |
of those two sampler channels independently or apply independent LADSPA effects on it. |
