23 The <link ref="https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxsampler/mailman/message/36608653/">macOS Installer has been modernized</link>
24 e.g. using now Gtk 3 for Gigedit and Qt 5 for QSampler and a modern
25 C++11 capable compiler. Support for ancient PowerPC Macs and 32-bit Intel
26 Macs has been dropped for that reason. So all Mac snapshot builds starting
27 from today onwards will require a 64-bit Intel Mac with at least macOS 10.7 or
28 higher. If you still have one of those ancient Macs and can't find an old
29 snapshot build on our website that still works for your old Mac, then you may
30 write us on the

41 Then Andrew Coughlan's <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/lscp2idf">lscp2idf scripts</link>
42 might help you to automatically extract MIDI instruments from LSCP files to
43 the MusE sequencer's IDF format, which can be helpful for patch changes
44 in that sequencer.

47 Services are back online. After reviewing the recent server incident we
48 came to the conclusion that the attack was fortunately quite limited.
49 We rolled back the system, closed the exploited security
50 hole and brought all services back online. In case you downloaded or updated any source files
51 from our <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">svn server</link>
52 between March 2nd and March 3rd, we recommend you to
53 delete the entire source directory and make an entire fresh checkout from
54 svn to avoid any issues. The svn server is now back at a clean state.

57 <b>Important notice:</b>
58 Our server had been compromised. For that reason we were forced to take most
59 services offline for now to protect you from accessing any compromised material.
60 We are currently investigating this incident and will update you accordingly.

63 <link ref="http://bb.linuxsampler.org">Web Forum</link> and

65 are back online: As you might have noticed, our
66 <link ref="http://bb.linuxsampler.org">Web Forum</link> as well as our
67 <link ref="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">Bug Tracker</link> were partly
68 unavailable for quite a while. It was possible to read them, but especially
69 registration of new user accounts were disabled (i.e. due to numerous
70 spam bot attacks we suffered in the past). Those issues have been
71 resolved and so both sites are back available and should now work entirely
72 as expected.

95 A new documentation site has been launched:
96 <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org">http://doc.linuxsampler.org</link> -
97 This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of
98 articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write
99 and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us
100 <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Writing_Docs/">writing documentation</link>
101 for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now
102 hosting an introduction to the new
103 <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/">NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language</link>.
104 The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www
105 server to that new site.

109 For the Mac users out there: We finally have a convenient installer for the
110 OS X version of LinuxSampler. This is already integrated in our automatic
111 build system. So from now on all
112 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">daily snapshot builds for Mac</link>
113 are automatically built with an installer. By default the installer will
114 install all components (LinuxSampler stand-alone application, VST and
115 Audio Unit plugin version of LinuxSampler, QSampler, Fantasia, GigEdit and
116 command line tools. At step "Installation Type" you can however also
117 override the default installation and select which components to install.

121 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">gigedit finally included with OS X snapshots!</link>
122 Due to the variety of third party library dependencies it took a while, but
123 finally "gigedit", our graphical instrument editor for Gigasampler /
124 GigaStudio files, is now included with the automatic binary snapshots builds
125 for Mac OS X. The automatic snapshot installers are automatically compiled
126 by one of our servers each time a developer commits something new to our
127 Subversion (development) server. You can use gigedit on Mac OS X as
128 stand-alone instrument editor as well as in live-mode while running
129 LinuxSampler. In the latter case your changes with gigedit get immediately
130 audible while playing the instrument on the keyboard at the same time.

134 <link ref="sfz/">Added SFZ implementation status page.</link>
135 We are currently in the works to implement support for the SFZ format,
136 which is a powerful and open sample library format, already adopted by
137 many commercial samplers. Check our new SFZ status page to see which
138 aspects of the format are already supported by LinuxSampler, and which
139 ones are yet to be implemented.

143 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">Download the latest OS X snapshot of the sampler!</link>
144 Following our ongoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide
145 automatic builds also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits
146 something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will
147 automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes.
148 The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries
149 (PPC 32 bit, Intel 32 &amp; 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the
150 sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications
151 QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not
152 yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read
153 the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install
154 everything on your Mac.

158 From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
159 converted our existing CVS repository for the
160 <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
161 the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
162 available in this new Subversion repository. Our
163 <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
164 is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
165 commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
166 <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
167 to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

171 After a huge down time of almost one month, we decided to move to new, more
172 reliable servers. Thanks to the University of Heilbronn which kindly hosted
173 our servers for 8 years. We started to move the most important services to
174 a commercial server host, which will be financed by your donations. Sorry
175 for this long absence and thank you for your support!

179 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/win32/snapshots/">Download the latest Windows snapshot of the sampler!</link>
180 Since we have to confess that we are a bit lazy about putting out official
181 releases, and since the latest official release of the sampler for Windows
182 is quite old, we decided to establish automatic builts of the sampler and
183 all other software components for Windows. As soon as some developer
184 commits something new to the CVS server for any of the project's software
185 components, a new snapshot binary for Windows will automatically built and
186 be available for download within few minutes. Sorry for neglecting you
187 Windows users out there for so long!

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

201 LinuxSampler is featured in the october special issue of the "Computer Music"
202 magazine. It is available in English language in magazine stores around the
203 UK. This special issue focused on demonstrating the "best free software" for

213 Better a late than no announcement at all:
214 <list>
215 <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
216 <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
217 <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>

220 <li>jlscp 0.8</li>
221 <li>liblscp 0.5.6</li>
222 </list>
223 This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
224 host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
225 sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
226 runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
227 version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
228 finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
229 expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
230 existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
231 release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
232 monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
233 to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
234 allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
235 these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

237 <entry date="2009-05-12">
238 On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
239 friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
240 from our
241 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
242 This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
243 of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
244 32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
245 appropriate binaries automatically.

288 Please note: gigedit is not yet available for Mac, we still need to do some

314 What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it
315 <link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows
316 world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for
317 the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged
318 "20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for
319 MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be
320 plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database
321 feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the
322 <link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start.
323 Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e.
324 fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from
325 .gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that
326 option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit
327 multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able
328 to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from
329 another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count
330 and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave
331 Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot
332 of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might
333 encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple
334 of bug fixes.

337 As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS

353 </list>
354 With our new instrument editor
355 <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/screenshots/gigedit_0_0_3.png">gigedit</link>
356 we can finally modify existing, as well as create new Gigasampler format
357 instruments from scratch, which are not only accepted by LinuxSampler, but
358 also by Gigastudio. You can run gigedit as stand-alone application or
359 <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/doc/gigedit/quickstart/gigedit_quickstart.html#live_editing">
360 "attached" to LinuxSampler</link>. The latter case allows you to play and edit
361 instruments at the same time, making all your modifications immediately
362 audible, without having to reload the instruments into the sampler. You can
363 simply edit instruments by selecting the respective sampler channel and
364 clicking on "Edit" (in QSampler as well as in JSampler). LinuxSampler now
365 provides a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not
366 only allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program
367 change number (and bank), it also allows further parameters like whether
368 the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed (and likewise
369 freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of effect sends for
370 each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI controller for
371 altering the effect send level in realtime and each one can flexible be routed to
372 some of the sampler's audio output channels, i.e. to a dedicated one for a
373 certain effect type (managing FX sends is yet only supported by JSampler,
374 not by QSampler yet). The new instruments database on sampler side allows
375 you to keep track even of largest instrument library collections. You can
376 order them in categories and search by various criteria (you can find this
377 feature as "Instruments Database" in JSampler, it's not yet supported by QSampler).
378 Loading huge instruments may take a while, that's why the sampler now
379 allows to play an instrument while loading. That way you can i.e. play and
380 hold notes on the keyboard while loading a new instrument on the same
381 sampler channel at the same time.

550 We are currently in a transition stage due to the recent changes (multi
551 channel / multi engine / multi audio output device and multi MIDI input
552 device support) this also leads to multi problems we have to solve ;-) so
553 meanwhile you can use the old single channel version. We created the two
554 CVS alias tags 'singlechannel' and 'v0_1_0' which you can use to checkout
555 the old single channel version of LinuxSampler. The CVS command line is the
556 same except that you have to add '-r singlechannel'.

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