Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Unloading instruments using sequencer

Chris is right - ON DEMAND only works in certain scenarios when you have a low density of program changes, the density cutoff depending how fast your setup is and size of instruments being loaded. I also work with massive amounts of articulations which requires HOLD or PERSISTENT load mode. My work

If you have hundreds of program changes in a few bars on demand is not something that can be used. On Demand would never be able to handle the amount of articulation changes we do. So we need the best of both worlds. Original Message Subject: Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Unloadi

Hi Chris, Apologies if I sound patronising, but I would've imagined that the on demand hold was made to prevent stuff like that? No offence, I'm just saying that, imo using 'On demand' would be better and make far more sense if you want to unload stuff, as opposed to using 'on demand hold' and wan

Does the blank gig work for on-demand hold samples? From our experiments it does not clear the channel. So we are building it into the gui so you can fire the clear of the channel at any given time for on demand hold samples. Thanks! Original Message Subject: Re: [Linuxsamp

If you download oom2 you will find a directory called oomfiles. You will find a little script in there to convert rg instruments to oom2. But very soon it will not be needed. We will allow you to build the instrument directly from your running linuxsampler server. So it will read the midi maps

Hiya, The way I currently do it by having a midi map in LS that has program 127 set to a 'null.gig' file, that contains just 1 key dimension, but no associated .wav file (though I may have put in a blank wav file, I'd have to check). This way, I can load up instruments in my sequencer via program

We are working on it for oom2. It will be ready soon. We have lscp support in the sequencer now and are able to do all sorts of cool things. We plan full range of integration with linuxsampler. So far we automatically read the keyswitches and key ranges of the instrument. After tonight we wi

Hi all, sorry to belabor this topic, but has any progress been made concerning using a sequencer to tell LS to unload all instruments? Either by changing maps, instrument load mode, or any other method. Thanks, - Jor -- C
