Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015) |

|
The sampler's code base has seen substantial changes in the last six years, |
| 4 |
|
since the last release of LinuxSampler. The sampler engine code base has |
| 5 |
|
been unified to a set of abstract base classes which cleared the way for |
| 6 |
|
two new sampler engines: The SFZ2 format engine (.sfz) and the SoundFont 2 |
| 7 |
|
engine (.sf2). So LinuxSampler is not limited to the GigaStudio/Gigasampler |
| 8 |
|
format (.gig) anymore. Another major new feature is support for real-time |
| 9 |
|
instrument scripts, which may be bundled with sound files to extend the |
| 10 |
|
sampler with custom behavior for individual sounds. You may know such scripts |
| 11 |
|
from commercial software samplers. Find out more about instrument scripts |
| 12 |
|
on http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/. At the moment this |
| 13 |
|
scripting feature is yet limited to the Giga format engine. Also noteworthy |
| 14 |
|
is the new command line application "lscp", which is a text based shell for |
| 15 |
|
controlling the sampler from the command line, providing colored output, |
| 16 |
|
type completion, help text while typing LSCP commands and other convenient |
| 17 |
|
features. You may now also load external effects directly into the sampler |
| 18 |
|
(only LADSPA plugins yet). The LSCP network protocol (v1.7) has been extended |
| 19 |
|
to manage such effects respectively. Also new with latest LSCP version is the |
| 20 |
|
ability to trigger MIDI CCs by LSCP commands. You may have heard that the |
| 21 |
|
GigaStudio software has seen its last version with GigaStudio 4. Tascam |
| 22 |
|
officially discontinued this product, its intellectual property has been sold |
| 23 |
|
several times among companies and there is currently no way to buy a new copy |
| 24 |
|
of GigaStudio anymore. However the GigaStudio format is still under active |
| 25 |
|
development with LinuxSampler. We not only added support for the latest |
| 26 |
|
features introduced with GigaStudio 4: iMIDI rules for example which allow to |
| 27 |
|
trigger notes by MIDI CC and allow i.e. defining a set of legato samples; for |
| 28 |
|
the first time ever we also added our own extensions to the Giga format: one |
| 29 |
|
of it is the previously mentioned new instrument scripting feature and a more |
| 30 |
|
minor extension is support for various other MIDI CCs which were never |
| 31 |
|
supported by GigaStudio before. The sampler's host plugins have also seen |
| 32 |
|
some enhancements: the LV2 plugin now stores and restores the sampler's |
| 33 |
|
overall state with your DAW application's song, the LV2 and AudioUnit |
| 34 |
|
plugin's outputs were increased from 2 audio channels to 16 upon request by |
| 35 |
|
some users and the VST plugin now uses the sampler's MIDI instrument mapping |
| 36 |
|
system to show a list of available sounds to allow the user to switch among |
| 37 |
|
them. And last but not least the VST plugin may also be used on Mac now. |
