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        feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler).
45        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.
