Here is a collection of frequently asked questions. Please read them before asking on |
| 127 |

the mailing list. |

<h3>linuxsampler? qsampler? libgig? liblscp? hu?</h3> |
| 131 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 132 |
|
|
There are currently four subprojects in the LinuxSampler project; linuxsampler, |
| 133 |
|
|
qsampler, libgig and liblscp. linuxsampler is the core of the sampler, it includes the |
| 134 |
|
|
sampler engines and audio and MIDI drivers. linuxsampler itself is decoupled from any |
| 135 |
|
|
user interface. It offers a network server (LSCP server) to allow to be controlled by |
| 136 |
|
|
an arbitrary user frontend from an arbitrary place over a netwrok connection or |
| 137 |
|
|
locally from the same machine as well. |
| 138 |
|
|
qsampler is the first GUI frontend written for linuxsampler, it is written with the Qt |
| 139 |
|
|
GUI library and thus can be compiled for various architectures and operating systems |
| 140 |
|
|
without modifications on the source code. |
| 141 |
|
|
libgig is a C++ library written for loading Gigasampler files and DLS Level 1 and 2 |
| 142 |
|
|
files. libgig is used by linuxsampler to load Gigasampler files and it <b>can</b> be |
| 143 |
|
|
used by qsampler to retrieve additional informations about Gigasampler files. liblscp |
| 144 |
|
|
is a C library written as a wrapper around the LSCP network protocol, thus to control |
| 145 |
|
|
linuxsampler. It was originally designed to be used on both sides, that is on server / |
| 146 |
|
|
backend side (linuxsampler) and on client / frontend side (e.g. qsampler). But it's now |
| 147 |
|
|
only used on client side by qsampler at the moment. |
| 148 |
|

|
|
<h3>What do I need to compile and install?</h3> |
| 151 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 152 |
|
|
You should compile and install at least linuxsampler. As a beginner you should |
| 153 |
|
|
defintely as well compile and install qsampler, liblscp and libgig. qsampler is a |
| 154 |
|
|
convenient GUI frontend for linuxsampler. qsampler depends on liblscp, so you have to |
| 155 |
|
|
compile and install liblscp before starting to build qsampler. It is recommended to |
| 156 |
|
|
install libgig as well, you don't have to actually because libgig is at the moment |
| 157 |
|
|
statically included with linuxsampler, but qsampler <b>can</b> use it to retrieve |
| 158 |
|
|
additional informations from Gigasampler files. |
| 159 |

<h3>How do I checkout from CVS?</h3> |
| 162 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 163 |
|
|
The procedure of checking out the newest version from CVS is described on the |
| 164 |
|
|
<a href="downloads.html">Downloads</a> site. |
| 165 |
|
|
</p> |

|
<h3>How do I compile from CVS?</h3> |
| 168 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 169 |
|
|
The procedure for compiling from CVS is the same for all subprojects, that is no matter |
| 170 |
|
|
if you are compiling linuxsampler, qsampler, libgig or liblscp from CVS, you have to |
| 171 |
|
|
have the autotools (automake, autoconf and libtool) installed and compile it that way: |
| 172 |

<h3>Can I use linuxsampler without a GUI as well?</h3> |
| 188 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 189 |
|
|
Yes, but unfortunately there is no console based frontend frontend for linuxsampler (yet). |
| 190 |
|
|
You have to write LSCP scripts and send it to the running linuxsampler application. |
| 191 |
|
|
You can send a LSCP script to linuxsampler on the console with the following command: |
| 192 |
|
|
</p> |
| 193 |
|
|
<table class="default" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5"> |
| 194 |
|
|
<tr> |
| 195 |
|
|
<td><pre class="code">1</pre> |
| 196 |
|
|
</td> |
| 197 |
|
|
<td width="100%"> |
| 198 |
|
|
<pre class="code">cat yourscript.lscp | netcat -t localhost 8888</pre> |
| 199 |
|
|
</td> |
| 200 |
|
|
</tr> |
| 201 |
|
|
</table> |
| 202 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 203 |
|
|
Of course you can also replace localhost by the IP address of the machine where |
| 204 |
|
|
linuxsampler is running. Alternatively you can also make a telnet connection (port 8888) |
| 205 |
|
|
to linuxsampler's LSCP server and type commands manually. |

<h3>Are there example LSCP script files somewhere?</h3> |
| 210 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 211 |
|
|
Yes, have a look on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation</a> site for some |
| 212 |
|
|
common LSCP script examples. For details about LSCP read the |
| 213 |
|
|
<a href="api/draft-linuxsampler-protocol.html">LSCP reference</a>. Be welcome to ask |
| 214 |
|
|
questions for details about LSCP on the mailing list. |

<h3>I get dropouts (click sounds, noise), what can I do about it?</h3> |
| 219 |
|
|
<p class="default"> |
| 220 |
|
|
In order to achieve good results under Linux you need to have a |
| 221 |
|
|
<a href="http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/resourceslatency.php3">patched kernel</a>. |
| 222 |
|
|
There are different patches available depending on what version (2.4.x or 2.6.x) of kernel you use. |
| 223 |
|
|
The <a href="http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php">JACK FAQ site</a> is also a good resource |
| 224 |
|
|
how to configure a realtime stable kernel. But note; LinuxSampler currently has not support for |
| 225 |
|
|
libcap yet, that means if you are still using a 2.4.x Linux kernel you most probably have to run |
| 226 |
|
|
LinuxSampler with root priviliges (support for libcap is planned though). As a rule of thumb: if |
| 227 |
|
|
you don't get warnings like "cannot mlockall() memory" you are safe to run it as ordinary user as well. |
