Download the DMG and mount it on Finder. You |
|
|
will find a single folder "linuxsampler051-mac-20080102". Copy this |
|
|
folder to wherever you like (e.g. under /Applications). |
|
|
<br> |
|
|
The folder contains three items, "bin", "linuxsampler" and |
|
|
"qsampler". Double-click on qsampler. The application launches, and you |
|
|
will see messages saying that linuxsampler is now running. After a |
|
|
while, you will also see that the JackPilot application (installed by |
|
|
the JackOSX installer) automatically launches showing the Jack server |
