<description>LinuxSampler is a work in progress. The goal is to produce a free,
4
open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade
5
features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac
6
software samplers and to introduce new features not yet available
7
by any other sampler in the world.

LinuxSampler was designed as a sampler backend, decoupled from any
10
user interface. It provides a network interface using an ASCII based
11
protocol called LSCP for full control of the sampler like for setup
12
and altering sampler sessions. But don't be afraid, with QSampler we
13
already have a convenient GUI frontend (based on the cross-platform
14
GUI library Qt) for LinuxSampler and due to the decoupled design you
15
can even control the sampler with the GUI frontend from another
16
computer, probably even running another OS like Windows or OSX.
17
Beside our own custom network control layer we planned to add
18
existing ones as well (e.g. OSC). With the planned SMP and cluster
19
support LinuxSampler might become a standard for high-end studios
20
and concerts.

22
It is planned to support all common sampler formats in LinuxSampler,
23
but at the moment we chose to concentrate on the Gigasampler format,
24
because we think it's currently the best sampler format in regards
25
of quality and power, especially for the synthesis of natural
26
instruments like pianos, brass and bowed instruments.
27
But we already made good advance in implementing this format, so we
28
are optimistic to start with adding other formats soon. Beside that
29
we also planned to design our own, sophisticated sampler format to
30
introduce a more powerful and more flexible sampler format compared
31
to any sampler format currently available in the world. Be encouraged
32
to share your ideas about such a new format with us!
