As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS |
5 |
|
|
names in the last two days, because it was dependent to a foreign server |
6 |
|
|
out of our control. We just addressed this issue and finally completely |
7 |
|
|
moved the DNS responsibility to our own servers to avoid this happening |
8 |
|
|
again. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused! |

A new release wave of the LinuxSampler family has arrived: |
12 |
|
|
<list> |
13 |
|
|
<li>linuxsampler 0.5.0</li> |
14 |
|
|
<li>qsampler 0.1.5</li> |
15 |
|
|
<li>jsampler 0.7a</li> |
16 |
|
|
<li>gigedit 0.1.0</li> |
17 |
|
|
<li>libgig 3.2.0</li> |
18 |
|
|
<li>liblscp 0.5.5</li> |
19 |
|
|
<li>jlscp 0.6a</li> |
20 |
|
|
</list> |
21 |
|
|
With our new instrument editor |
22 |
|
|
<link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link> |
23 |
|
|
we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format |
24 |
|
|
instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but |
25 |
|
|
also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or |
26 |
|
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing"> |
27 |
|
|
"attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit |
28 |
|
|
instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately |
29 |
|
|
audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can |
30 |
|
|
simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and |
31 |
|
|
clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now |
32 |
|
|
provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not |
33 |
|
|
only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
34 |
|
|
change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether |
35 |
|
|
the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise |
36 |
|
|
freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for |
37 |
|
|
each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for |
38 |
|
|
altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to |
39 |
|
|
some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a |
40 |
|
|
certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler, |
41 |
|
|
not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows |
42 |
|
|
you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can |
43 |
|
|
order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this |
44 |
iliev |
1449 |
feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler). |
45 |
schoenebeck |
1448 |
Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now |
46 |
|
|
allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and |
47 |
|
|
hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same |
48 |
|
|
sampler channel at the same time. |

We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi |
218 |
|
|
channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input |
219 |
|
|
device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so |
220 |
|

meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two |

CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout |
222 |
|
|
the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the |

same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'. |

that it might contain bugs, it might crash and that it's still lacking tons |

things and add code. Users should wait for a tarball release. |
