4        Cheers Mac users! LinuxSampler is finally available as AudioUnit plugin!
5        It's still a work in progress, but you might already want to checkout
6        the experimental AU binary package of LinuxSampler, available from our
7        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/mac/">download server</link>.
8        As this is still an early development version, please follow the ongoing
9        discussion and development on our
10        <link ref="https://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=295">web forum</link>
11        and <link ref="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=linuxsampler-devel">developers' mailing list</link>
12        to avoid known problems. Feedback appreciated!

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

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

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

46        You tried out the young Windows version of LinuxSampler and encountered
47        problems? Check out the
48        <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/windows.html#houston">Trouble
49        Shooting Section</link> of the LinuxSampler Windows HOWTO. It still
50        doesn't solve your problem? You can ask for help on our
51        <link ref="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel">
52        Mailing List

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

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