Lisalo 1.3 Release (Linux Sampler Loader)

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git

Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader is a command line program that loads entire
directories of sample files or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file
with relative paths to samples.

This program exists because you can't share linuxsampler lscp files
or even move files around on your own disk. Lscp files only work with
absolute paths and are too low level anyway.

Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without
even starting a GUI. The lsl files are very simple, see example.lsl,
and can be shipped around with your sfz sample package like the
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (lsl file already included in this release)

This is release 1.3, grab it here, no installation required (but you can symlink it to /usr/bin if you want)
git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git

[New Features]
lsl mode (see example.lsl)
-Choose an instrument index when loading gig or sf2 samples
-Load a directory with waves and oggs as one instrument.
-Choose a name for your JACK port

commandline mode (see -h or cat README)
-option to specify a name for your JACK port.
-directly load a single sfz file instead of a whole directory or a meta lsl file (auto detection by file extension)
-this sfz file can be a temp file created by Lisalos sidekick:

[New Tool - Sfz Generator]
Creates temporary or permanent sfz files. Point to a directory of wave or ogg files and you'll get the filename of an .sfz file in /tmp or path of your choice as return value. In case you want to use this with Lisalo use the following syntax: lisalo "$(lisalosfzgenerator.py /path/to/wavedir)"

This has several optional options such as: Start mapping from a key number (default 60 - middle c), only map the white keys, load sample dir recursively (don't point at your /home/samples or at an Ardour project dir!) etc.
