1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 capela 77 ------------------------------------------
3    
4 capela 491 Qsampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around
5 capela 2768 the Qt framework using Qt Designer. At the moment it just wraps as a client
6 capela 77 reference interface for the LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP).
7    
8     LinuxSampler is a work in progress. The goal is to produce a free, open source
9     pure software audio sampler with professional grade features, comparable to
10     both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers.
11    
12     The initial platform will be Linux because it is one of the most promising
13     open source multimedia operating systems. Thanks to various kernel patches
14     and the Jack Audio Connection Kit, Linux is currently able to deliver rock
15     solid sub-5 millisecond MIDI-to-Audio response.

25 capela 1509 Requirements
26     ------------
27    
28     The software requirements for build and runtime are listed as follows:
29    
30     Mandatory:
31    
32 capela 2768 - Qt framework, C++ class library and tools for
33     cross-platform application and UI development
34 capela 3660 https://qt.io/
35 capela 1509
36     - liblscp, C library for LinuxSampler control protocol API.
37 capela 3660 https://www.linuxsampler.org/
38 capela 1509
39     Optional (opted-in at build time):
40    
41     - libgig, C++ library for loading and modifying Gigasampler and DLS files.

45 capela 77 Installation
46     ------------
47    
48     The installation procedure follows the standard for source distributions.
49     Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory:
50    
51     ./configure [--prefix=/usr/local]
52     make
53    
54     and optionally as root:
55    
56     make install
57    
58     This procedure will end installing the following couple of files:
59    
60     ${prefix}/bin/qsampler
61 capela 1258 ${prefix}/share/pixmaps/qsampler.png
62     ${prefix}/share/applications/qsampler.desktop
63 capela 2048 ${prefix}/share/locale/qsampler_*.qm
64 capela 77
65     Just launch ${prefix}/bin/qsampler and you're off (hopefully).
66    
67     Note that the default installation path ${prefix} is /usr/local.
68    
69 capela 2681 If you're checking out from Git, you'll have to prepare the
70 capela 2064 configure script just before you proceed with the above instructions:
71 capela 77
72 capela 3065 ./autogen.sh
73 capela 1258
74    
75 capela 77 Configuration
76     -------------
77    
78 capela 1509 Qsampler holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a
79     file located as $HOME/.config/linuxsampler.org/Qsampler.conf .
80     Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and
81     rewritten everytime qsampler is run.
