[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] LinuxSampler 0.3.1

LinuxSampler [1] is a modular, streaming capable sampler. It was designed decoupled from any user interface, that is as sampler backend which can be controlled via network connection from an arbitrary place, using a custom, ASCII based protocol called LSCP [2]. [1] http://www.linuxsampler.org [2] http://www.linuxsampler.org/documentation.html Focus of this first release was an adequate support of the Gigasampler format, including experimental support for the new Gigasampler v3 format. For a complete list what is already covered and what is not, check the features site [3]. [3] http://www.linuxsampler.org/features.html Planned next: * strong synthesis optimizations * support for further sampler formats * instrument database system * implementation of further control interfaces like OSC [4] * SMP and network cluster support * as ports to other OSs are already on the pipe, maybe a new name :P You might want to use QSampler [5] as convenient graphical frontend to LinuxSampler. You can get everything from the downloads site [6]. [4] http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/ [5] http://qsampler.sourceforge.net [6] http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html CU Christian
