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

    A new release wave of the LinuxSampler family has arrived:
    <list>
      <li>linuxsampler 0.5.0</li>
      <li>qsampler 0.1.5</li>
      <li>jsampler 0.7a</li>

      <li>liblscp 0.5.5</li>
      <li>jlscp 0.6a</li>
    </list>
    With our new instrument editor
    <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link>
    we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format
    instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but
    also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or
    <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing">
    "attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit
    instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately
    audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can
    simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and
    clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now
    provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not
    only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program
    change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether
    the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise
    freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for
    each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for
    altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to
    some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a
    certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler,
    not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows
    you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can
    order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this
    feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler).
    Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now
    allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and
    hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same
    sampler channel at the same time.

165	days due to a hardware defect on one of our servers. CVS is finally up

259	We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi
260	channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input
261	device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so
262	meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two
263	CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout
264	the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the
265	same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'.
