Several questions from a Newbie (program crashes, play mode)
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:37 pm
Hello to Everyone,
I'm Robert from Berlin and a LinuxSampler fan for three days now. I spent the last two nights with configuration, trying out, installing other free sampling software (shortcircuit) and I like LS now - although the program looks a bit unstable to me. I'm also very new to sampling but after some days I've understood the main principles of sampling quite well.
I have a bunch of questions and I hope someone can help me...
1) is there any possibility to assign my Pitch-Wheel to some effect? Or is this a problem I have so solve at my keyboard, because when I use it it - surprise - pitches !
2) Is there a function to play a sample in this so called "one shot" mode (forward shot in shortcircuit), that means to play the sample without holding the key? I played around with the release value and changed it so 60., the highest value, but the amplitude falls down (it's a 30 sec Sample which I don't want to play through a sequencer, because it's not played during the whole song)
3) what does the Release-scale (0 .. 60) mean? 60 % ? db?
4) What is the meaning of groups? is it right, that samples that are grouped together will be played together? So if I have different sounds on different keys each of them has to be put in a different group?
5) I have problems with the LSCP files. My setup is the following:
- LS for Windows
- Audio Device: Line6 Toneport GX (ASIO interface)
- Midi: creative soundblaster extige USB
this works fine and is not the problem. but when I save the sampler configuration, exit JSampler and LinuxSampler and start it all again and run the script it crashes and cannot connect the devices. So I played around in the script and noticed that when I delete the SET VOLUME 0.81 command it works. Why ??
6) maybe some of my problems are fixed with the newest LS package version, but the thing that it is not possible for to compile the latest version (I'm not that specialist in programming etc.). I hope somebody here has the latest version built and could send it to me? I hope here is some expert for which this is not so much work.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
