Hey Mac Users! We hope to give you a good way to start the new year |
| 5 |
|
|
by announcing that LinuxSampler is now officially |
| 6 |
|
|
available for OS X as well! You find an installer (disk image) of the |
| 7 |
|
|
latest release of LinuxSampler and QSampler for OS X on our |
| 8 |
|
|
<link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads site</link>. |
| 9 |
|
|
Please note: gigedit is not yet available for Mac, we still need to do some |
| 10 |
|
|
work on this. Same applies to JSampler unfortunately, because the required |
| 11 |
|
|
Java version 1.6 is not officially available for Mac yet. Have a look |
| 12 |
|
|
at the <link ref="osx.html">OS X HOWTO</link> for an easy start. |

What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it |
| 36 |
schoenebeck |
1578 |
<link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows |
| 37 |
|
|
world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for |
| 38 |
|
|
the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged |
| 39 |
schoenebeck |
1576 |
"20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for |
| 40 |
|
|
MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be |
| 41 |
schoenebeck |
1578 |
plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database |
| 42 |
|
|
feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the |
| 43 |
schoenebeck |
1576 |
<link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start. |
| 44 |
|
|
Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e. |
| 45 |
|
|
fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from |
| 46 |
schoenebeck |
1578 |
.gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that |
| 47 |
|
|
option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit |
| 48 |
schoenebeck |
1576 |
multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able |
| 49 |
|
|
to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from |
| 50 |
schoenebeck |
1578 |
another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count |
| 51 |
|
|
and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave |
| 52 |
|
|
Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot |
| 53 |
|
|
of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might |
| 54 |
|
|
encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple |
| 55 |
|
|
of bug fixes. |

As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS |
| 59 |
|
|
names in the last two days, because it was dependent to a foreign server |
| 60 |
|
|
out of our control. We just addressed this issue and finally completely |
| 61 |
|
|
moved the DNS responsibility to our own servers to avoid this happening |

again. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused! |

A new release wave of the LinuxSampler family has arrived: |
| 66 |
|
|
<list> |
| 67 |
|
|
<li>linuxsampler 0.5.0</li> |
| 68 |
|
|
<li>qsampler 0.1.5</li> |
| 69 |
|
|
<li>jsampler 0.7a</li> |

<li>gigedit 0.1.0</li> |

| 73 |
|
|
<li>jlscp 0.6a</li> |
| 74 |
|
|
</list> |
| 75 |
|
|
With our new instrument editor |
| 76 |
|
|
<link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link> |
| 77 |
|
|
we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format |
| 78 |
|
|
instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but |
| 79 |
|
|
also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or |
| 80 |
|
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing"> |
| 81 |
|
|
"attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit |
| 82 |
|
|
instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately |
| 83 |
|
|
audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can |
| 84 |
|
|
simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and |
| 85 |
|
|
clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now |
| 86 |
|
|
provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not |
| 87 |
|
|
only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
| 88 |
|
|
change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether |
| 89 |
|
|
the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise |
| 90 |
|
|
freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for |
| 91 |
|
|
each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for |
| 92 |
|
|
altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to |
| 93 |
|
|
some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a |
| 94 |
|
|
certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler, |
| 95 |
|
|
not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows |
| 96 |
|
|
you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can |
| 97 |
|
|
order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this |
| 98 |
iliev |
1449 |
feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler). |
| 99 |
schoenebeck |
1448 |
Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now |
| 100 |
|
|
allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and |
| 101 |
|
|
hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same |
| 102 |
|
|
sampler channel at the same time. |

We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi |
| 272 |
|
|
channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input |
| 273 |
|
|
device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so |
| 274 |
|
|
meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two |
| 275 |
|
|
CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout |
| 276 |
|
|
the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the |
| 277 |
|
|
same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'. |

Lots of news for the Linuxsampler community. We've got a new site, new |
| 301 |
|
|
domain and new code available in CVS. Check the |
| 302 |
|
|
<link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads</link> |
| 303 |
|
|
section for instructions. If you want to check it out, please keep in mind |
| 304 |
|
|
that it might contain bugs, it might crash and that it's still lacking tons |
| 305 |
|
|
of features. CVS is directed towards developers who would like to test |
| 306 |
|
|
things and add code. Users should wait for a tarball release. |
