Consert setup

Hi all!

I want to use the linux sampler at live gigs with my band, and need to know what is the best way to do this. I have one set of sampless for each of the 7 songs we are playing. Should i make 7 gigasampler files, one for each song, and load up a new one to the frontend before each song, or is there another way to do it? (Loading all the 7 songs at ones, and easily switch between them?) It should be as easy as possible to change before each song, and the computer we are using isnt that powerfull, so it should'nt have to use to much memory.
I guess we will be using qsampler, if thats a bit faster than jsampler.

Any help appreciated

Export a LSCP script for each set up and just load it using netcat or something similar. No need for front-ends.

I forgot to say that the girl that is going to play and change the samples have never heard about linux, and dont know much about computers. so it must be something she can visually understand, like, pushing one butten or something.

Hm, im not really into linux either. dont know what netcat is?

you can use the MIDI maps of LS and assign program changes to various samples which are loaded on demand.
That way you can control everything from a MIDI keyboard without the need of frontend and without using ecessive RAM.
Unfortunately I currently don't have time to explain you how to do it.
Perhaps someone could explain you who it works or if I find some time later I will try to describe it but perhaps you will
have figured out by yourself by then
BTW it would be cool if you could put online some audio and video recording of the concert to see LS live in action

I'd be very interested in hearing how that's done!

We're going to tape the gig, so if it turns out good!
