4     As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS
5     names in the last two days, because it was dependent to a foreign server
6     out of our control. We just addressed this issue and finally completely
7     moved the DNS responsibility to our own servers to avoid this happening
8     again. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!

11     A new release wave of the LinuxSampler family has arrived:
12     <list>
13     <li>linuxsampler 0.5.0</li>
14     <li>qsampler 0.1.5</li>
15     <li>jsampler 0.7a</li>
16     <li>gigedit 0.1.0</li>
17     <li>libgig 3.2.0</li>
18     <li>liblscp 0.5.5</li>
19     <li>jlscp 0.6a</li>
20     </list>
21     With our new instrument editor
22     <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link>
23     we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format
24     instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but
25     also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or
26     <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing">
27     "attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit
28     instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately
29     audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can
30     simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and
31     clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now
32     provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not
33     only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program
34     change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether
35     the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise
36     freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for
37     each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for
38     altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to
39     some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a
40     certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler,
41     not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows
42     you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can
43     order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this
44 iliev 1449 feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler).
45 schoenebeck 1448 Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now
46     allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and
47     hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same
48     sampler channel at the same time.

122     Major services (CVS, downloads, Bug Tracking System) were down in the last
123     days due to a hardware defect on one of our servers. CVS is finally up
124     again and we are working on restoring all other services in the next days
125     as well. We are also establishing further backup facilities to prevent this
126     happening again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

174     the Qt GUI front-end in the works for the LinuxSampler engine, was bumped
175     to its now fifth primordial release (0.0.5). Still alpha code. Time to move
176     on... to a better and complete Audio/MIDI device configuration interface,
177     as predicted by LSCP and wrapped by liblscp.

180     Due to a design change, current LinuxSampler CVS version is quite unstable.
181     You might want to use the previous, stable version of LS in the meantime,
182     which can be downloaded as
183     <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">source tarball
184     </link>. Alternatively you can also checkout the old version from CVS which
185     was tagged as "v0_2_0".

217     We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi
218     channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input
219     device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so
220     meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two
221     CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout
222     the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the
223     same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'.

242     Added CVS log to this site, showing the latest commits to the LinuxSampler

245     <entry date="2003-11-02">
246     Lots of news for the Linuxsampler community. We've got a new site, new
247     domain and new code available in CVS. Check the
248     <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads</link>
249     section for instructions. If you want to check it out, please keep in mind
250     that it might contain bugs, it might crash and that it's still lacking tons
251     of features. CVS is directed towards developers who would like to test
252     things and add code. Users should wait for a tarball release.
