+ <h3>1.&nbsp; Introduction</h3>
+ The LinuxSampler development team is happy to announce that
+ LinuxSampler, the most advanced free, open source sampler finally runs on
+ MS Windows too. More information will be added here soon, so check back frequently.<br>
+ <br>
+ The sampler can work in standalone mode or as a VSTi plugin.
+ In standalone mode it uses the Windows Multimedia Extensions System (MME)
+ for MIDI input and ASIO for audio out.
+ In VST mode it it can be loaded in any VST compatible sequencer. It uses intelligent
+ resource sharing where a single LinuxSampler engine can serve multiple VST instance offering
+ maximum performance and better memory utilization.
+ The VST plugin provides user definable effect sends which can be MIDI controlled and routed
+ to any LinuxSampler's VST audio out channels. That way you can use the sequencer's internal
+ FXes or VST effects to ie. add reverb, chorus, delay and other kind of effects which are all
+ MIDI controllable in real time. For example one can use a large General MIDI sample set and
+ for faithful playback of GM MIDI files including effects.
+ Planned additions are network module to run multiple sampler slaves distributed on Windows or
+ Linux machines (Linux provides better performance) all controlled from a
+ Windows box i.e. running the VST sequencer.<br>
  <br>
- the LinuxSampler development team is happy to announce that<br>
- LinuxSampler, the most advanced free, open source sampler now runs on
- MS Windows too (requires at least Windows 2000).<br>

- <br>
- For now it supports Windows Multimedia System (MME) at MIDI in and ASIO

- <br>
- This means that currently it runs only as a standalone application.<br>

+ <ul>
- once the GUI opens, click on the left round button in the MIDI devices
+   <li>Modern Intel Pentium or recent AMD processor
- tab.<br>
+   <li>Windows 2000, ME, XP, Vista, Windows 7</li>
- At this point a window will open where you can create a new MIDI device.<br>
+   <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(Sun)">Java Runtime Environment</a> (<a href="http://www.java.com/getjava/">version 6</a>)</a></li>

- (MIDI Device 0 MME).<br>
+ </ul>
- Now click on the right arrow which points downwards.<br>
+ <a name="asio_tip"></a>
- You can see that a MIDI device with a single Port (Port 0) was created.<br>
+ <b>Tip:</b> For consumer audio cards which do not come with their own ASIO
+ drivers you can install <a href="http://www.asio4all.com/">ASIO4ALL</a> to be
+ able to use LinuxSampler with your soundcard.
+ We recommend to use version 2.7, perhaps on Vista 2.8beta1 works better but
+ we did not perform tests on Vista so we cannot tell it. Please let us know
+ about your results so we can share them here!
+ <a name="install_w_inet"></a>
+ <h3>3.a&nbsp; Installation with Internet Connection</h3>
+ Simply download the latest version of the LinuxSampler Windows installer
+ from the <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">LinuxSampler
+ Download Page</a>, execute the installer and follow the instructions. It will
+ automatically detect if the required software components are already installed.
+ If not, it will download them from the internet and install them on your
+ computer.
+ <a name="install_wo_inet"></a>
+ <h3>3.b&nbsp; Installation without Internet</h3>
+ First download the required components with a machine which has connection to
+ the internet:
+ <ul>
+   <li><a href="http://www.java.com/getjava/">Java Runtime Environment 6</a></li>
+   <li>and of course the latest <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">
+      LinuxSampler Windows installer</a></li>
+ </ul>
+ Transfer the downloaded files to the computer where you want to install
+ LinuxSampler and install them in the following order:
+ <ol>
+   <li>the JAVA runtime environment</li>
+   <li>linuxsampler setup EXE file</li>
+ </ol>
+ The order is important, since the components depend on each other and would
+ otherwise try to download the missing component from the internet.
+ <a name="using"></a>
+ <h3>4.&nbsp; Using the Applications</h3>
+ Now that we installed everything, let's get wet and start the applications:
+ <a name="using_vst"></a>
+ <h3>4.1 VST plugin Mode</h3>
+ <ol>
+   <li>Figure out where your default VST plugin path resides. The installer looks at the registry key  Software\VST\VSTPluginsPath and if this key does not exist then it uses the default path C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins. In this directory you should find a file LinuxSampler.dll which is the LinuxSampler VST plugin.</li>
+ <li>Add the path to your sequencer's VST paths and rescan the plugin list (in some cases restarting the sequencer app is probably better). LinuxSampler should now appear in the list of your plugins.</li>
+ <li>Load the LinuxSampler VST plugin into the sequencer. After a short delay the Fantasia LinuxSampler GUI should appear and you are ready to go. Please skip to the <a href="#load_samples">Loading Samples</a> section.
+ </ol>
+ <B>Important:</B> don't start the LinuxSampler standalone backend when using the VST plugin or don't set up MIDI and Audio ports in the GUI (The VST plugin does it automatically), otherwise it not work correctly.
+ <a name="using_standalone"></a>
+ <h3>4.2 Standalone Mode</h3>
+ <ul style="list-style-type: none;">
+   <li>1. First start the LinuxSampler backend: Click on <i>"Start" ->
+       "LinuxSampler" -> "LinuxSampler (backend)"</i>. A black console
+       window should immediately popup. It does what you think it does:
+       nothing ... yet ... because this is "just" the raw sampler, without a
+       user interface.</li>
+   <li>2. Now start a "frontend" application to actually control the previously
+       started sampler. For beginners and / or unpatient people, we recommend
+       you to use JSampler: Click on <i>"Start" -> "LinuxSampler" ->
+       "JSampler 'Fantasia' (frontend)"</i>. This usually takes about
+seconds or so until the application finally appears on the
+       screens.</li>
+ <li>
+ <a name="setup_midi"></a>
+ <h3>4.2.1&nbsp; Setting up MIDI Input</h3>
+ Once the GUI opens, click on the left round button in the MIDI devices
+ tab.
+ At this point a window will open where you can create a new MIDI device.
+ Press Create. The window will close and the MIDI device will be created.
+ (MIDI Device 0 MME).
+ Now click on the right arrow which points downwards.
+ You can see that a MIDI device with a single Port (Port 0) was created.
  Under Windows MME LinuxSampler always creates MIDI devices which are

+ 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>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org/">http://bugs.linuxsampler.org/</a><br>
+ <br>
+ Some bugs and problems I discovered so far:
+ <ul>
+   <li>when adding a channel there noises could occur while playing on other
+   channels</li>
+   <li>if you overload the sampler (CPU overload or disk overload) it
+   produces noises</li>
+   <li>when editing an instrument using gigedit, after saving it, it could
+   happen that LinuxSampler does not accept commands from the GUI anymore.
+   if this happens close the GUI and the LinuxSampler console window and
+   restart both.</li>
+ </ul>

+ If you have questions or want to help us to improve the sampler,
+ subscribe to the <a href="http://www.linuxsampler.org/developers.html">
+ LinuxSampler Developer's mailing list</a>. Alternatively, since I did most
+ of of the Windows porting, you can write me (Benno) directly about Windows
+ related issues. You can find my email address here:<br>
