  <title>LinuxSampler - modular, streaming capable sampler</title>
  <description>LinuxSampler is a work in progress. The goal is to produce a free,
open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade
features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac
software samplers and to introduce new features not yet available
by any other sampler in the world.

LinuxSampler was designed as a sampler backend, decoupled from any
user interface. It provides a network interface using an ASCII based
protocol called LSCP for full control of the sampler like for setup
and altering sampler sessions. But don't be afraid, with QSampler we
already have a convenient GUI frontend (based on the cross-platform
GUI library Qt) for LinuxSampler and due to the decoupled design you
can even control the sampler with the GUI frontend from another
computer, probably even running another OS like Windows or OSX.
Beside our own custom network control layer we planned to add
existing ones as well (e.g. OSC). With the planned SMP and cluster
support LinuxSampler might become a standard for high-end studios
and concerts.

It is planned to support all common sampler formats in LinuxSampler,
but at the moment we chose to concentrate on the Gigasampler format,
because we think it's currently the best sampler format in regards
of quality and power, especially for the synthesis of natural
instruments like pianos, brass and bowed instruments.
But we already made good advance in implementing this format, so we
are optimistic to start with adding other formats soon. Beside that
we also planned to design our own, sophisticated sampler format to
introduce a more powerful and more flexible sampler format compared
to any sampler format currently available in the world. Be encouraged
to share your ideas about such a new format with us!
