The <link ref="https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxsampler/mailman/message/36608653/">macOS Installer has been modernized</link> |
5 |
e.g. using now Gtk 3 for Gigedit and Qt 5 for QSampler and a modern |
6 |
C++11 capable compiler. Support for ancient PowerPC Macs and 32-bit Intel |
7 |
Macs has been dropped for that reason. So all Mac snapshot builds starting |
8 |
from today onwards will require a 64-bit Intel Mac with at least macOS 10.7 or |
9 |
higher. If you still have one of those ancient Macs and can't find an old |
10 |
snapshot build on our website that still works for your old Mac, then you may |

Services are back online. After reviewing the recent server incident we |
29 |
came to the conclusion that the attack was fortunately quite limited. |
30 |
We rolled back the system, closed the exploited security |

hole and brought all services back online. In case you downloaded or updated any source files |
32 |
from our <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">svn server</link> |
33 |
between March 2nd and March 3rd, we recommend you to |

For the Mac users out there: We finally have a convenient installer for the |
91 |
OS X version of LinuxSampler. This is already integrated in our automatic |
92 |
build system. So from now on all |
93 |
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">daily snapshot builds for Mac</link> |
94 |
are automatically built with an installer. By default the installer will |
95 |
install all components (LinuxSampler stand-alone application, VST and |
96 |
Audio Unit plugin version of LinuxSampler, QSampler, Fantasia, GigEdit and |
97 |
command line tools. At step "Installation Type" you can however also |
98 |
override the default installation and select which components to install. |

103 |
Due to the variety of third party library dependencies it took a while, but |
104 |
finally "gigedit", our graphical instrument editor for Gigasampler / |
105 |
GigaStudio files, is now included with the automatic binary snapshots builds |
106 |
for Mac OS X. The automatic snapshot installers are automatically compiled |
107 |
by one of our servers each time a developer commits something new to our |
108 |
Subversion (development) server. You can use gigedit on Mac OS X as |
109 |
stand-alone instrument editor as well as in live-mode while running |
110 |
LinuxSampler. In the latter case your changes with gigedit get immediately |
111 |
audible while playing the instrument on the keyboard at the same time. |

This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio |
205 |
host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The |
206 |
sampler's limits for max. voices & disk streams can now be altered at |
207 |
runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac |
208 |
version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version |
209 |
finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however |
210 |
expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already |
211 |
existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this |
212 |
release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to |
213 |
monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and |
214 |
to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which |
215 |
allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides |
216 |
these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations. |

What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it |
296 |
<link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows |
297 |
world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for |
298 |
the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged |
299 |
"20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for |
300 |
MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be |
301 |
plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database |
302 |
feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the |
303 |
<link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start. |
304 |
Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e. |
305 |
fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from |
306 |
.gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that |
307 |
option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit |
308 |
multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able |
309 |
to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from |
310 |
another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count |
311 |
and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave |
312 |
Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot |
313 |
of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might |
314 |
encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple |
315 |
of bug fixes. |

instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but |
339 |
also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or |
340 |
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing"> |
341 |
"attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit |
342 |
instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately |
343 |
audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can |
344 |
simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and |
345 |
clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now |
346 |
provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not |
347 |
only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
348 |
change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether |
349 |
the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise |
350 |
freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for |
351 |
each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for |
352 |
altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to |
353 |
some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a |
354 |
certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler, |
355 |
not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows |
356 |
you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can |
357 |
order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this |
358 |
feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler). |
359 |
Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now |
360 |
allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and |
361 |
hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same |
362 |
sampler channel at the same time. |

We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi |
532 |
channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input |
533 |
device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so |
534 |
meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two |
535 |
CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout |
536 |
the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the |
537 |
same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'. |

Lots of news for the Linuxsampler community. We've got a new site, new |
561 |
domain and new code available in CVS. Check the |
562 |
<link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads</link> |
563 |
section for instructions. If you want to check it out, please keep in mind |
564 |
that it might contain bugs, it might crash and that it's still lacking tons |
565 |
of features. CVS is directed towards developers who would like to test |
566 |
things and add code. Users should wait for a tarball release. |
