Hello,
I'm having a problem with Linuxsampler. It's compiling ok, but when i try to
run it I have the following display:
magoo@darkstar:/home/magooslk$ linuxsampler --gig ns_kit7free.gig
LinuxSampler 0.2
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 by Benno Senoner and Christian Schoenebeck
Creating Sampler...OK
Registered MIDI input drivers: ALSA
Registered audio output drivers: ALSA,JACK
Starting LSCP network server (on TCP port 8888)...OK
LinuxSampler initialization completed.
And the program stop. There is no alsa midi connections or jack ports.
I'm running Slackware 10 with kernel 2.6.7+voluntary preemption patch, alsa
1.0.6a, jack 0.98.8 and linuxsampler CVS version.
I realy thanks for any help.

Andre,
Your English is very fine, not bad at all. Please don't worry about
that.
I think the results you are getting are correct. At that point in
the process LS would have no inputs or outputs. To make it add them you
would have to go to another terminal or machine and, using a telnet
session to port 8888, tell it to add them using commands in the LSCP
document. Then you would see them in QJackCtl.
None of that is fun, so I refuse... ;-)
A much easier way to use this would be to use Rui's QSampler
application. It's Gui based and runs over the top of LS, making LS
appear more like a stand-alone synth. It's linked form the LS home page,
but to make it easier here you go:
http://qsampler.sourceforge.net/qsampler-index.html
Have fun LinuxSampling! ;-)
Cheers,
Mark

Hmm, I learn something new every day... looks 'way cool, time to get

It's actually a fairly nice environment. It lacks some of GigaStudio's
abilities, such as being able to add a plugin, no mixer, no audio output
routes, but it's clean and VERY simple to use.
While I'm not really able to use LS yet for synths or orchestral yet, at
this level many of the drum gig files work just fine if you're looking
for a MIDI driven drum unit. I also use it for odd stuff, like vocal
loops and weird sound files where an odd difference from GSt wouldn't be
such an issue.
As always, Rui's work just continues to be so grat at the user level.
QjackCtl, QSampler, QSynth, are all so clean & simple. All a real
pleasure to use.
Have fun,

Hi Russell:
Well, following Mark's link, I compiled and installed the linuxsampler
stuff, then the lib and GUI stuff from Rui. I can run QSampler, but
apparently I lack a library for Gigasampler file support. I downloaded
libgig, but the compile fails and I haven't reported it yet (there may
be a fix already). Rui indicates that his components are alpha-stage,
and the LinuxSampler site makes it clear that they're quite a way from
being ready for prime time.
Best,

Dave,
From a Windows world, GigaStudio POV it is intentionally being
represented as 'not ready for prime time' specifically because those
folks demand both complete compatibility with GSt and huge voice count.
LS is not there so the developers seem to want to scare people off until
the tool is really 'ready for prime time'.
On the other hand, in my use of LS I find it fully equivalent to
other similar apps, like ZynAddSubFx, Hydrogen, amSynth, etc. They all
have bugs. They all need hand holding. they all crash and we talk to
developers to get things fixed. I haven't found it all that different,
although it is true that the main developers do seem to appear and then
disappear at irregular and unpredictable intervals.
To ease new users into LS Rui has a page at his personal site that
has all the stuff you need to build a tested version of LS. Go here:
http://www.rncbc.org/ls/
This is all I use. I jsut wait for Rui to test all three together and
update his page. I doon't mess much with CVS anymore.
Good luck,
Mark

The question about the library for Gigasampler file support puzzles me.
What is exactly the problem you're seeing? AFAIR only linuxsampler uses
libgig internally, and it's beeing bundled with it's own package.
Currently, qsampler doesn't make any use of libgig, although it warns
about if it's missing at configure time. Afterwards, just ignore the red
line on the about-box ;)
The linuxsampler version on my site (http://www.rncbc.org/ls) are pretty
old as it were pre-holidays. I'll try to catch-up soon. In the mean time,
please be gentle, as it's just my home inet server ;)
Oh, and please note that the same files are available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsampler .
Cheers,

Sorry if I pointed people where I should not have. I was keenly not
aware this server was bandwidth limited. My apologies.
