+ <h3>4.5&nbsp; Routing LinuxSampler Outs Into Sequencer</h3>
+ LinuxSampler currently lacks a VST interface so the only way to route LinuxSampler's outs into a sequencer
+ are either by using physical cables or internal routing via ASIO. Some audio cards offer this feature.
+ <br>
+ The <a href="http://www.reaper.fm">Reaper</A> sequencer allows ASIO routing by implementing a virtual
+ ASIO based driver independently from the soundcard type (ReaRoute). Basically in LinuxSampler you select the ReaRoute  as ASIO output driver which
+ appear as input ports in Reaper. Coupled with the MIDI controllable FX sends in LinuxSampler you can use
+ Reaper's FX egine to add reverb, chorus etc to LinuxSampler instruments, fully MIDI controllable, similar to
+ other MIDI based modules.
+ <br>
+ Our forum user moonskin (thanks Graham!) has described the steps needed to perform in order to set up the routing.

  <h3>5.&nbsp; Installation Troubleshooting</h3>
- It could happen that due to previous installations of Gtk+ and gtkmm DLLs
+ <ul>
- even after deinstallation leave some stale keys in the windows registry which
+   <li>
- could fool the installer into
+     <div style="background-color: #FFF2F2;">
- believing that the needed DLLs are already installed therefore skipping
+       <u>Problem:</u> The LinuxSampler backend application
- its installation which will
+       (<i>linuxsampler.exe</i>) fails to start with an error message that
- cause the sampler not being able to start due to the missing DLLs.
+       claims that a DLL file is missing (e.g. <i>libatkmm-1.6-1.dll</i>)
- We recommend in this case to install gtk+ and gtkmm manually as described
+     </div>
- above in "<a href="#install_wo_inet">Installation without Internet</a>".
+     <div style="background-color: #F2FFF2;">
- Just install those mentioned Gtk+ and gtkmm versions and then LinuxSampler
+       <u>Reason / Solution:</u>

+     </div>
+     <div style="background-color: #F2FFF2;">
+       <u>Reason / Solution:</u><a name="old_cpu_workaround"></a>
+       This first Windows release of LinuxSampler requires at least an Intel
+       Pentium4 processor or a recent AMD processor. If you have an older
+       processor and get the error message from above, you can use the
+       following workaround for now:
+       <ol>
+         <li>Download and extract
+           <a href="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win32_probs/ls686_20071207.zip">
+             these replacement binaries.
+           </a>
+         </li>
+         <li>Copy the 3 binaries manually in your LinuxSampler installation
+           directory (default installation directory:
+           "C:\Program Files\LinuxSampler"), that is overwrite the existing
+           binaries in the LS installation directory with the 3 ones from the
+           zip file.
+         </li>
+       </ol>
+       Use this workaround only if you got the mentioned error message,
+       because the replacement binaries will otherwise decrease runtime
+       efficiency! This is of course just a temporary workaround. We'll
+       address this issue with the next release of LinuxSampler (see also
+       <a href="https://bugs.linuxsampler.org/cgi-bin/show_bug.cgi?id=67">
+       bug report #67</a>).

  <h3>7.&nbsp; Bugs, Problems and Feature Requests</h3>
+ Our Forum is a good place to ask for help:<br>

+ <br>
+ We have a dedicated forum section for
+ newbies and support.<br>
+ <br>
  Since the Windows port of LinuxSampler is very young, there could be several
  bugs which we hope to root out soon.
  Please report them using our bug tracking system:<br>
