Hi all! Is anyone running LinuxSampler on Mac Lion (not Mountain lion)? I tried to run the executable which seems to have installed, but LinuxSampler crashes when a front end tries to connect. Also, can anyone explain how I would connect directly to the backend without using either jSampler or qSampler? I can't see, and I use speech (VoiceOver on Mac) to read my screen. I can't read or navigate the front ends with speech, so I would like to either be able to pipe a .lscp file to it, or at least be able to use a terminal to type to it and test it directly. I have a terminal (iTerm) which covers a lot of protocols, but I'm not sure which I need, or if it will even work, as LinuxSampler doesn't seem to be working at present. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Kevin |

I tried to run the executable which seems to have installed, but LinuxSampler crashes when a front end tries to connect. I've done some quick tests on Lion and at least it doesn't crash that early for me. Note that you should most probably use the latest snapshot build (http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/), not the old 1.0.0 version. > Also, can anyone explain how I would connect directly to the backend without using either jSampler or qSampler?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much. You can use the nc command from the terminal: nc localhost 8888 /Andreas |

Hi all! Sorry andreas, apparently I sent this to you directly instead of the list before. I'm still a bit confused here. I just downloaded: linuxsampler_20121004 and installed it on Mac Lion. When I run it, the terminal reports: LinuxSampler 1.0.0.svn19 So I think I'm downloading the current version, but its not reporting that it is 1.1 as I was expecting. Have I done something wrong, or is it not printing the correct version on the terminal? Also, the "How to" for Mac, which is quite old now, mentions a LinuxSampler Jack package for JackOX10 (Jack for Mac), but I don't see a separate package anymore. Again, have I misunderstood something, or has this been discontinued, or does it function without a separate package now? I'm interested in Jack because I need LinuxSampler to be able to read MIDI from other applications rather than directly from MIDI in, and it doesn't seem to see the Mac virtual MIDI busses. Unless there is another way to do this, I don't know any other way than through JackOS10. If anyone can shed any light on this, I would appreciate the info. Thanks much, and sorry if I'm not understanding something elementary here. Kevin |

Have I done something wrong, or is it not printing the correct version on the terminal? It's the correct version. The ".svn9" part means that this is a newer version than "1.0.0". > Also, the "How to" for Mac, which is quite old now, mentions a LinuxSampler Jack package for JackOX10 (Jack for Mac), but I don't see a separate package anymore.

Sorry, the current Mac builds are without Jack support. As Jack OS X supports audio connections to applications without Jack support, I thought it wasn't very important, but I admit that I didn't think about MIDI connections. /Andreas |

At this moment a workaround can be using ipMidi, or another midi thru program like vmpk. Btw, i'm still looking forward for jack support in osx builds, it would support even older hardware machines (as I said, OS X 10.5 doesn't accept non jack application), which has always been one of the good things about open software.
