5        In case you are working a lot on Native Instruments Kontakt instrument
6        files, or if you are just interested in the .nki file format, you might have
7        a look at <link ref="nkitool/">nkitool</link>. It is a simple console
8        application which allows to export and import the human readable XML file
9        from and to Native Instruments Kontakt .nki instrument articulation files.
10        It can be very handy to speedup or even automate the process of creating
11        and editing .nki instrument files.

15        LinuxSampler is featured in the october special issue of the "Computer Music"
16        magazine. It is available in English language in magazine stores around the
17        UK. This special issue focused on demonstrating the "best free software" for
18        music production on PC, Mac and mobile. LinuxSampler is covered along to four
19        other samplers, with an introduction howto on page 57. You can

27        Better a late than no announcement at all:
28        <list>
29          <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
30          <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
31          <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>
32          <li>gigedit 0.2.0</li>
33          <li>libgig 3.3.0</li>
34          <li>jlscp 0.8</li>
35          <li>liblscp 0.5.6</li>
36        </list>
37        This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
38        host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
39        sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
40        runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
41        version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
42        finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
43        expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
44        existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
45        release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
46        monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
47        to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
48        allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
49        these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

52        On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
53        friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
54        from our
55        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
56        This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
57        of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
58        32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
59        appropriate binaries automatically.

66        Cheers Mac users! LinuxSampler is finally available as AudioUnit plugin!
67        It's still a work in progress, but you might already want to checkout
68        the experimental AU binary package of LinuxSampler, available from our
69        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/mac/">download server</link>.
70        As this is still an early development version, please follow the ongoing

77        We're happy to announce that the first freely available sample library
78        is now available on our downloads server. Thanks to Mats Helgesson for
79        giving us the permission to share his "Maestro Concert Grand v2" piano
80        library with you. You find the download link along with the library's
81        license informations and a demo track for prelistening on our
82        <link ref="instruments.html">instruments</link> site.

97        Hey Mac Users! We hope to give you a good way to start the new year
98        by announcing that LinuxSampler is now officially
99        available for OS X as well! You find an installer (disk image) of the
100        latest release of LinuxSampler and QSampler for OS X on our
101        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads site</link>.
102        Please note: gigedit is not yet available for Mac, we still need to do some
103        work on this. Same applies to JSampler unfortunately, because the required
104        Java version 1.6 is not officially available for Mac yet. Have a look
105        at the <link ref="osx.html">OS X HOWTO</link> for an easy start.

108        You tried out the young Windows version of LinuxSampler and encountered
109        problems? Check out the
110        <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/windows.html#houston">Trouble
111        Shooting Section</link> of the LinuxSampler Windows HOWTO. It still
112        doesn't solve your problem? You can ask for help on our
113        <link ref="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel">
114        Mailing List
115        </link>. If you found bugs, please report them to our

119        Another strike:
120        <list>
121          <li>linuxsampler 0.5.1</li>
122          <li>jsampler 0.8a</li>
123          <li>qsampler 0.2.1</li>

128        What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it
129        <link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows
130        world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for
131        the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged
132        "20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for
133        MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be
134        plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database
135        feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the
136        <link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start.
137        Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e.
138        fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from
139        .gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that
140        option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit
141        multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able
142        to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from
143        another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count
144        and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave
145        Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot
146        of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might
147        encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple
148        of bug fixes.

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