The easiest way currently is to write a LSCP script and to send it via
netcat to the running sampler:

	cat yourscript.lscp | nc -t localhost 8888

or you can of course simply connect via telnet ('telnet localhost 8888') and
write the LSCP commands manually. Rui is working on a Qt based GUI fronted
for LinuxSampler, but it's not finished yet. And note that recent LS version
is still a bit buggy, due to the recent transition to multi channel support,
so you simply might use the old single channel version of LinuxSampler for
the moment which also has the old command line parameters. You can checkout
the old version by doing:

	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/var/cvs/linuxsampler co -r v0_1_0 linuxsampler

P.S. btw sorry in my last mail the CVS command line was wrong; it should be
'-d:pserver:anonymous' instead of 'd:pserver:schoenebeck' of course.
