Hi! Try the following: bash-tty1 # linuxsampler If this fails,you don't have linuxsampler installed. Either try install a debian-package, if one is available or go to the linuxsampler website: http://www.linuxsampler.org And get Linuxsampler, liblscp and libgig and install them in the following order: libgfig liblscp linuxsampler bash-tty2 # telnet localhost 8888 [Telnet started and you can enter commands like this] CREATE AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE JACK CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE ALSA ADD CHANNEL LOAD ENGINE GIG 0 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE 0 0 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE 0 0 LOADINSTRUMENT 'PATH/TO/YOUR/GIG_FILE' [optionally you can type this afterwards] SET CHANNEL VOLUME 0 0.6 If you change to another tty or use your favourite patchbay, you can connect LinuxSampler to your hardware (soundcard midi-in audio-out). Probably like this: aconnect -li acconect -lo Find your soundcards MIDI-IN device number and LinuxSamplers MIDI-device number. then do: aconnect Soundcard_midi_number LinuxSampler_midi_number for example: aconnect 16 128 For jack this should do it: jack_connect LinuxSampler:0 system:playback_1 jack_connect LinuxSampler:1 system:playback_2 If you play your keyboard and you get sound, LinuxSampler works. Btw.: the program "linuxsampler' is the LSCP-server. Btw2.: To finish your linuxsampler properly go to the telnet console and type: RESET QUIT Then change to your linuxsampler-console and type ctrl-C (or strg+C, which is the same).
