You tried out the young Windows version of LinuxSampler and encountered |

|
problems? Check out the |

Shooting Section</link> of the LinuxSampler Windows HOWTO. It still |

What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it |
25 |
|
<link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows |
26 |
|
world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for |
27 |
|
the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged |
28 |
|
"20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for |
29 |
|
MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be |
30 |
|
plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database |
31 |
|
feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the |
32 |
|
<link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start. |
33 |
|
Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e. |
34 |
|
fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from |
35 |
|
.gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that |
36 |
|
option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit |
37 |
|
multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able |
38 |
|
to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from |
39 |
|
another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count |
40 |
|
and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave |
41 |
|
Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot |
42 |
|
of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might |
43 |
|
encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple |
44 |
|
of bug fixes. |

As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS |
48 |
|
names in the last two days, because it was dependent to a foreign server |
49 |
|
out of our control. We just addressed this issue and finally completely |
50 |
|
moved the DNS responsibility to our own servers to avoid this happening |
51 |
|
again. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused! |

A new release wave of the LinuxSampler family has arrived: |
55 |
|
<list> |
56 |
|
<li>linuxsampler 0.5.0</li> |
57 |
|
<li>qsampler 0.1.5</li> |
58 |
|
<li>jsampler 0.7a</li> |
59 |
|
<li>gigedit 0.1.0</li> |
60 |
|
<li>libgig 3.2.0</li> |
61 |
|
<li>liblscp 0.5.5</li> |
62 |
|
<li>jlscp 0.6a</li> |
63 |
|
</list> |
64 |
|
With our new instrument editor |
65 |
|
<link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link> |
66 |
|
we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format |
67 |
|
instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but |
68 |
|
also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or |
69 |
|
<link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing"> |
70 |
|
"attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit |
71 |
|
instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately |
72 |
|
audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can |
73 |
|
simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and |
74 |
|
clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now |
75 |
|
provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not |
76 |
|
only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
77 |
|
change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether |
78 |
|
the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise |
79 |
|
freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for |
80 |
|
each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for |
81 |
|
altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to |
82 |
|
some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a |
83 |
|
certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler, |
84 |
|
not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows |
85 |
|
you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can |
86 |
|
order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this |
87 |
|
feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler). |
88 |
|
Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now |
89 |
|
allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and |
90 |
|
hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same |
91 |
|
sampler channel at the same time. |
