Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface |
2 |
------------------------------------------ |
3 |
|
4 |
Qsampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around |
5 |
the Qt3 toolkit using Qt Designer. At the moment it just wraps as a client |
6 |
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. |

Installation |
24 |
------------ |
25 |
|
26 |
The installation procedure follows the standard for source distributions. |
27 |
Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory: |
28 |
|
29 |
./configure [--prefix=/usr/local] |
30 |
make |
31 |
|
32 |
and optionally as root: |
33 |
|
34 |
make install |
35 |
|
36 |
This procedure will end installing the following couple of files: |
37 |
|
38 |
${prefix}/bin/qsampler |
39 |
${prefix}/share/pixmaps/qsampler.png |
40 |
${prefix}/share/applications/qsampler.desktop |
41 |
|
42 |
Just launch ${prefix}/bin/qsampler and you're off (hopefully). |
43 |
|
44 |
Note that the default installation path ${prefix} is /usr/local. |
45 |
|
46 |
If you're checking out from CVS, you'll have to prepare the configure |
47 |
script just before you proceed with the above instructions: |
48 |
|
49 |
make -f Makefile.cvs |
50 |
|
51 |
|
52 |
Configuration |
53 |
------------- |
54 |
|
55 |
Qsampler holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file |
56 |
located as $HOME/.qt/qsamplerrc. Normally, there's no need to edit this file, |
57 |
as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qsampler is run. |
