4        We're happy to announce that the first freely available sample library
5        is now available on our downloads server. Thanks to Mats Helgesson for
6        giving us the permission to share his "Maestro Concert Grand v2" piano
7        library with you. You find the download link along with the library's
8        license informations and a demo track for prelistening on our
9        <link ref="instruments.html">instruments</link> site.

19        Due to popular demand we finally launched a forum for this project. The

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

35        You tried out the young Windows version of LinuxSampler and encountered
36        problems? Check out the
37        <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/windows.html#houston">Trouble
38        Shooting Section</link> of the LinuxSampler Windows HOWTO. It still
39        doesn't solve your problem? You can ask for help on our
40        <link ref="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel">
41        Mailing List
42        </link>. If you found bugs, please report them to our

55        What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it
56        <link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows
57        world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for
58        the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged
59        "20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for
60        MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be
61        plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database
62        feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the
63        <link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start.
64        Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e.
65        fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from
66        .gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that
67        option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit
68        multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able
69        to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from
70        another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count
71        and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave
72        Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot
73        of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might
74        encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple
75        of bug fixes.

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