NAME

       linuxsampler - modular, streaming capable sampler


SYNOPSIS

       linuxsampler [OPTIONS]


DESCRIPTION

       LinuxSampler is a modular, streaming capable sampler. The sampler is
       designed as backend, that is server-like console application. You will
       need a frontend application like QSampler or JSampler to control the
       sampler and manage sampler sessions. Or you have to send LSCP commands
       manually to the sampler e.g. by using telnet or netcat.


OPTIONS

       --help Print command line help and exit.

       --version
              Print version information and exit.

       --profile
              Output benchmark messages on the console. This reflects the
              current efficiency as abstract BogoVoice count which is
              something like a theoretical limit of the amount of voices which
              can be rendered in the given scenario. It does not include all
              aspects of the sampler, that's why this value is usually higher
              than what you really can achieve on your box. Also note that
              this value is as well dependant on what instrument patch you are
              using and what you are playing.  For a compact synthesis core
              benchmark, independent from drivers and instrument files, you
              might want to use the one coming with the sampler's source files
              instead (directory "benchmarks" of the source files).

       --no-tune
              Disable assembly optimizations. Usually the sampler will detect
              CPU specific features like MMX and SSE at runtime and use an
              appropriate assembly optimized code in that case. With that
              switch you can disable this feature and force the sampler to
              skip the assembly optimizations at runtime.

       --statistics
              Output voice and disk stream count periodically on the console.

       --lscp-addr IPADDRESS
              Defines IP address on which the LSCP server should listen to
              (default: any).

       --lscp-port NUMBER
              Defines TCP port on which the LSCP server should listen to
              (default: 8888).

       --create-instruments-db FILE
              Creates a database file with the given filename which can be
              used by the sampler's instruments database system to maintain
              the user's collection of instrument libraries. When this
              argument is given, the sampler will just create the instruments
              DB file and exit.

       --instruments-db-location FILE
              Overrides the location of the database file, which the sampler
              shall use for its instruments database system (default:
              /var/lib/linuxsampler/instruments.db).
