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 |
feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler). |
| 45 |
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 |
| 221 |
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 |
| 223 |
same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'. |

Lots of news for the Linuxsampler community. We've got a new site, new |
| 247 |
domain and new code available in CVS. Check the |
| 248 |
<link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads</link> |
| 249 |
section for instructions. If you want to check it out, please keep in mind |
| 250 |
that it might contain bugs, it might crash and that it's still lacking tons |
| 251 |
of features. CVS is directed towards developers who would like to test |
| 252 |
things and add code. Users should wait for a tarball release. |
