186 We are currently in the works of a SFZ(2) format based sampler engine,
187 as additional powerful sampler engine for LinuxSampler. As there is
188 currently no official document defining the so called <i>SFZ version 2</i>
189 format, we created our own <a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVrDa5LNWylnZGZ6ejk4eHRfNDVjbmsyd3Zmag">SFZ2 reference document</a>,
190 reflecting the format and the progress of implementation in LinuxSampler's
191 Subversion developers version. This reference document is currently maintained by

248 This is our graphical instrument editor based on the Gtk toolkit.
249 It can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with LinuxSampler.
250 Read the <a href="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html">Gigedit Quickstart</a>
251 for a short tutorial. Please notice that this quickstart document
252 is automatically generated from CVS and thus might reflect

254 edge development version of gigedit from CVS.

269 libgig is a C++ library used to load and modify Gigasampler format files.
270 If you're a developer and might want to use libgig, here is its

282 (automatically daily updated from CVS).

284
285 <h2>LSCP Reference</h2>
286 <p class="default">
287 The following documents define the <i>LinuxSampler Control Protocol</i>,
288 a network protocol with which LinuxSampler can be controlled locally as well as remotely.
289 As this is a simple ASCII based protocol it's possible to write a frontend for LinuxSampler in
290 any programming language and GUI library. There's still a big demand especially for a Gtk and
291 ncurses based frontend, so be encouraged and let
292 <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/developers.html">us</a> know if you wrote a frontend for
293 LinuxSampler!

408 The protocol will be extended from time to time. You may look at the
409 <a href="features.html#LSCP">features</a> site to see which control
410 commands are already implemented and which are not.

415 <h3>Example LSCP scripts</h3>
416 <p class="default">
417 If you don't want / can't use a GUI frontend you will probably write some LSCP scripts for
418 using with linuxsampler to setup your needed sampler session. It follows some common LSCP
419 examples to give you a good starting point for writing your own ones. Adjust it to your needs
420 and send it to the running linuxsampler application with:
421 </p>
422 <pre class="code">cat yourscript.lscp | netcat localhost 8888</pre>
423 <p class="default">
424 Optionally you can also use a graphical frontend like QSampler one time to setup a working
425 sampler session for your needs and save it. Because you have to know that the files saved
426 by our frontends are actually pure LSCP scripts, thus you can i.e. use those files simply with
427 the mentioned netcat command from above to setup the sampler session without a frontend.
428 </p>
429 <p class="default">
430 Here is a simple LSCP example which uses ALSA as MIDI input and as audio output driver as well,
431 it creates only one sampler channel using the Gigasampler engine and loads a Piano instrument
432 on that sampler channel:
433 </p>
434 <pre class="code">#enable echo mode
435 SET ECHO 1
436
437 # load the ALSA audio driver
438 # (parameter CARD is optional, I use it here to select my 2nd sound card
439 # you can use 'GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO ALSA CARD' to get
440 # all available sound cards)
441 CREATE AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE ALSA CARD='1,0'
442
443 # load the ALSA MIDI driver
444 CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE ALSA
445
446 # connect my MIDI keyboard which has ALSA seq ID '72:0'
447 # (see 'aconnect -i' for the IDs of your MIDI devices

464 The next example uses JACK as audio output driver instead and automatically connects the two
465 output channels of LS's JACK client to the first two ALSA PCM channels, so you can hear
466 something without having to manually connect it e.g. with qjackctl:

505 The next example is a bit more complex.
506 It shows how to setup a more realistic sampler session, handle routing of MIDI input channels,
507 handle routing of audio channels, it uses JACK again as audio
508 output driver, but creates the JACK client with four output channels instead, it creates two
509 sampler channels, loads two different instruments on those two sampler channels and alters
510 the audio channel routing so that the two output channels of sampler channel 1 are routed to
511 the first two JACK output channels and the two output channels of sampler channel 2 are routed
512 the second pair of the JACK client's output channels. That way you could e.g. record the output
513 of those two sampler channels independently or apply independent LADSPA effects on it.
