A new documentation site has been launched: |

|
<link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org">http://doc.linuxsampler.org</link> - |
| 26 |
|
This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of |
| 27 |
|
articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write |
| 28 |
|
and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us |
| 29 |
|
<link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Writing_Docs/">writing documentation</link> |
| 30 |
|
for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now |
| 31 |
|
hosting an introduction to the new |
| 32 |
|
<link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/">NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language</link>. |
| 33 |
|
The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www |
| 34 |
|
server to that new site. |

For the Mac users out there: We finally have a convenient installer for the |
| 39 |
|
OS X version of LinuxSampler. This is already integrated in our automatic |
| 40 |
|
build system. So from now on all |
| 41 |
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">daily snapshot builds for Mac</link> |
| 42 |
|
are automatically built with an installer. By default the installer will |
| 43 |
|
install all components (LinuxSampler stand-alone application, VST and |
| 44 |
|
Audio Unit plugin version of LinuxSampler, QSampler, Fantasia, GigEdit and |
| 45 |
|
command line tools. At step "Installation Type" you can however also |
| 46 |
|
override the default installation and select which components to install. |

<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">gigedit finally included with OS X snapshots!</link> |
| 51 |
|
Due to the variety of third party library dependencies it took a while, but |
| 52 |
|
finally "gigedit", our graphical instrument editor for Gigasampler / |
| 53 |
|
GigaStudio files, is now included with the automatic binary snapshots builds |
| 54 |
|
for Mac OS X. The automatic snapshot installers are automatically compiled |
| 55 |
|
by one of our servers each time a developer commits something new to our |
| 56 |
|
Subversion (development) server. You can use gigedit on Mac OS X as |
| 57 |
|
stand-alone instrument editor as well as in live-mode while running |
| 58 |
|
LinuxSampler. In the latter case your changes with gigedit get immediately |
| 59 |
|
audible while playing the instrument on the keyboard at the same time. |

| 64 |
|
We are currently in the works to implement support for the SFZ format, |
| 65 |
|
which is a powerful and open sample library format, already adopted by |
| 66 |
|
many commercial samplers. Check our new SFZ status page to see which |
| 67 |
|
aspects of the format are already supported by LinuxSampler, and which |
| 68 |

ones are yet to be implemented. |

Following our ongoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide |

|
automatic builds also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits |
| 75 |
|
something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will |
| 76 |
|
automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes. |
| 77 |

The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries |
| 78 |
|
(PPC 32 bit, Intel 32 & 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the |
| 79 |
|
sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications |
| 80 |
|
QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not |
| 81 |
|
yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read |
| 82 |

the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install |

everything on your Mac. |

From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We |
| 88 |
|
converted our existing CVS repository for the |
| 89 |
|
<link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so |
| 90 |
|
the complete history from the beginning of this project is also |

|
available in this new Subversion repository. Our |
| 92 |
|
<link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link> |
| 93 |
|
is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be |

commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find |

After a huge down time of almost one month, we decided to move to new, more |
| 101 |
|
reliable servers. Thanks to the University of Heilbronn which kindly hosted |
| 102 |
|
our servers for 8 years. We started to move the most important services to |
| 103 |
|
a commercial server host, which will be financed by your donations. Sorry |
| 104 |
|
for this long absence and thank you for your support! |

Since we have to confess that we are a bit lazy about putting out official |
| 110 |
|
releases, and since the latest official release of the sampler for Windows |
| 111 |
|
is quite old, we decided to establish automatic builts of the sampler and |
| 112 |
|
all other software components for Windows. As soon as some developer |
| 113 |
|
commits something new to the CVS server for any of the project's software |
| 114 |
|
components, a new snapshot binary for Windows will automatically built and |
| 115 |
|
be available for download within few minutes. Sorry for neglecting you |

In case you are working a lot on Native Instruments Kontakt instrument |
| 121 |
|
files, or if you are just interested in the .nki file format, you might have |
| 122 |
|
a look at <link ref="nkitool/">nkitool</link>. It is a simple console |
| 123 |
|
application which allows to export and import the human readable XML file |
| 124 |
|
from and to Native Instruments Kontakt .nki instrument articulation files. |
| 125 |
|
It can be very handy to speedup or even automate the process of creating |
| 126 |
|
and editing .nki instrument files. |

LinuxSampler is featured in the october special issue of the "Computer Music" |
| 131 |
|
magazine. It is available in English language in magazine stores around the |
| 132 |
|
UK. This special issue focused on demonstrating the "best free software" for |
| 133 |
|
music production on PC, Mac and mobile. LinuxSampler is covered along to four |
| 134 |
|
other samplers, with an introduction howto on page 57. You can |

Better a late than no announcement at all: |
| 143 |
|
<list> |
| 144 |
|
<li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li> |
| 145 |
|
<li>Fantasia 0.9</li> |

<li>qsampler 0.2.2</li> |

|
This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio |
| 153 |
|
host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The |
| 154 |
|
sampler's limits for max. voices & disk streams can now be altered at |
| 155 |
|
runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac |
| 156 |
|
version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version |
| 157 |
|
finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however |
| 158 |
|
expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already |
| 159 |
|
existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this |
| 160 |
|
release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to |
| 161 |
|
monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and |
| 162 |
|
to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which |
| 163 |
|
allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides |
| 164 |
|
these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations. |

On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and |
| 168 |
|
friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available |
| 169 |
|
from our |
| 170 |
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>. |
| 171 |
|
This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version |
| 172 |
|
of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and |
| 173 |
|
32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the |
| 174 |
|
appropriate binaries automatically. |
