186 We are currently in the works of a SFZ(2) format based sampler engine,
187 as additional powerful sampler engine for LinuxSampler. As there is
188 currently no official document defining the so called <i>SFZ version 2</i>
189 format, we created our own <a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVrDa5LNWylnZGZ6ejk4eHRfNDVjbmsyd3Zmag">SFZ2 reference document</a>,
190 reflecting the format and the progress of implementation in LinuxSampler's
191 Subversion developers version. This reference document is currently maintained by

251 for a short tutorial. Please notice that this quickstart document
252 is automatically generated from CVS and thus might reflect

269 <h2>libgig</h2>
270 <p class="default">
271 libgig is a C++ library used to load and modify instrument files,

274 (Downloadable Sounds) file format.<br>

291 <h2>LSCP Reference</h2>
292 <p class="default">
293 The following documents define the <i>LinuxSampler Control Protocol</i>,
294 a network protocol with which LinuxSampler can be controlled locally as well as remotely.
295 As this is a simple ASCII based protocol it's possible to write a frontend for LinuxSampler in
296 any programming language and GUI library. There's still a big demand especially for a Gtk and
297 ncurses based frontend, so be encouraged and let
298 <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/developers.html">us</a> know if you wrote a frontend for
299 LinuxSampler!

414 The protocol will be extended from time to time. You may look at the
415 <a href="features.html#LSCP">features</a> site to see which control
416 commands are already implemented and which are not.

420 <a name="example_lscp_scripts">
421 <h3>Example LSCP scripts</h3>
422 <p class="default">
423 If you don't want / can't use a GUI frontend you will probably write some LSCP scripts for
424 using with linuxsampler to setup your needed sampler session. It follows some common LSCP
425 examples to give you a good starting point for writing your own ones. Adjust it to your needs
426 and send it to the running linuxsampler application with:
427 </p>
428 <pre class="code">cat yourscript.lscp | netcat localhost 8888</pre>
429 <p class="default">
430 Optionally you can also use a graphical frontend like QSampler one time to setup a working
431 sampler session for your needs and save it. Because you have to know that the files saved
432 by our frontends are actually pure LSCP scripts, thus you can i.e. use those files simply with
433 the mentioned netcat command from above to setup the sampler session without a frontend.
434 </p>
435 <p class="default">
436 Here is a simple LSCP example which uses ALSA as MIDI input and as audio output driver as well,
437 it creates only one sampler channel using the Gigasampler engine and loads a Piano instrument
438 on that sampler channel:
439 </p>
440 <pre class="code">#enable echo mode
441 SET ECHO 1
442
443 # load the ALSA audio driver
444 # (parameter CARD is optional, I use it here to select my 2nd sound card
445 # you can use 'GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO ALSA CARD' to get
446 # all available sound cards)

470 The next example uses JACK as audio output driver instead and automatically connects the two
471 output channels of LS's JACK client to the first two ALSA PCM channels, so you can hear

511 The next example is a bit more complex.
512 It shows how to setup a more realistic sampler session, handle routing of MIDI input channels,
513 handle routing of audio channels, it uses JACK again as audio
514 output driver, but creates the JACK client with four output channels instead, it creates two
515 sampler channels, loads two different instruments on those two sampler channels and alters
516 the audio channel routing so that the two output channels of sampler channel 1 are routed to
517 the first two JACK output channels and the two output channels of sampler channel 2 are routed
518 the second pair of the JACK client's output channels. That way you could e.g. record the output
519 of those two sampler channels independently or apply independent LADSPA effects on it.
