Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
Qsampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt framework using Qt Designer. At the moment it just wraps as a client reference interface for the LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP).
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.
The initial platform will be Linux because it is one of the most promising open source multimedia operating systems. Thanks to various kernel patches and the Jack Audio Connection Kit, Linux is currently able to deliver rock solid sub-5 millisecond MIDI-to-Audio response.

Requirements
The software requirements for build and runtime are listed as follows:
Mandatory:
-
Qt framework, C++ class library and tools for cross-platform application and UI development https://qt.io/
-
liblscp, C library for LinuxSampler control protocol API. https://www.linuxsampler.org/
Optional (opted-in at build time):
- libgig, C++ library for loading and modifying Gigasampler and DLS files. https://www.linuxsampler.org/libgig/
Installation
Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory:
cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>] -B build
cmake --build build [--parallel <Njobs>]
and optionally, as root:
[sudo] cmake --install build
Note that the default installation path (
Configuration
Qsampler holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file located as $HOME/.config/linuxsampler.org/Qsampler.conf . Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qsampler is run.
Bugs
Plenty as this is still alpha software. Bug reports should be posted on LinuxSampler bug tracker (https://bugs.linuxsampler.org).
Support
Qsampler is open source free software. For bug reports, feature requests, discussion forums, mailling lists, or any other matter related to the development of this piece of software, please use the LinuxSampler project site (https://www.linuxsampler.org).
Enjoy.
