5        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/win32/snapshots/">Download the latest Windows snapshot of the sampler!</link>
6        Since we have to confess that we are a bit lazy about putting out official
7        releases, and since the latest official release of the sampler for Windows
8        is quite old, we decided to establish automatic builts of the sampler and
9        all other software components for Windows. As soon as some developer
10        commits something new to the CVS server for any of the project's software
11        components, a new snapshot binary for Windows will automatically built and
12        be available for download within few minutes. Sorry for neglecting you
13        Windows users out there for so long!

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

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

41          <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
42          <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
43          <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>

48        </list>
49        This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
50        host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
51        sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
52        runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
53        version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
54        finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
55        expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
56        existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
57        release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
58        monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
59        to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
60        allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
61        these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

64        On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
65        friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
66        from our
67        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
68        This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
69        of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
70        32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
71        appropriate binaries automatically.
