This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio |
28 |
|
host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The |
29 |
|
sampler's limits for max. voices & disk streams can now be altered at |
30 |
|
runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac |
31 |
|
version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version |
32 |
|
finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however |
33 |
|
expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already |
34 |
|
existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this |
35 |
|
release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to |
36 |
|
monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and |
37 |
|
to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which |
38 |
|
allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides |
39 |
|
these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations. |

On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and |
43 |
|
friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available |
44 |
|
from our |
45 |
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>. |
46 |
|
This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version |
47 |
|
of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and |
48 |
|
32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the |
49 |
|
appropriate binaries automatically. |

Hey Mac Users! We hope to give you a good way to start the new year |
88 |
|
by announcing that LinuxSampler is now officially |
89 |
|
available for OS X as well! You find an installer (disk image) of the |
90 |
|
latest release of LinuxSampler and QSampler for OS X on our |
91 |
|
<link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads site</link>. |
92 |
|
Please note: gigedit is not yet available for Mac, we still need to do some |
93 |
|
work on this. Same applies to JSampler unfortunately, because the required |
94 |
|
Java version 1.6 is not officially available for Mac yet. Have a look |
95 |
|
at the <link ref="osx.html">OS X HOWTO</link> for an easy start. |
