The AU plugin certainly could get an update. Probably it lacks something from the current AU version 3 standard. The Mac's "Console" utility might also give a clue in this case what Logic dislikes exactly about the LinuxSampler AU. > I am wondering, is there a way to control the engine via the command line, > or via other means besides the two frontends?

There is not an Ncurses based frontent if you mean that (that is a terminal application which you could easily navigate with just arrow keys and enter). But there is for example the command line application "lscp" which is essentially a shell, that is you have to type text commands to the sampler backend with the keyboard and the shell assists you with type completion of those commands: http://doc.linuxsampler.org/LSCP_Shell/ However even though this console application assists you with typing those commands. you would still need to learn at least the basics of what those commands are, which is described in a rather huge document here: http://www.linuxsampler.org/api/draft-linuxsampler-protocol.html > Essentially, since I have a few hundred giga files, what I would like is a > way to print the available indexes and to load an instrument via that index > from a .gig file. This can be through the database as well. I am not sure how much you usually use command line applications, but you could use the command line application "gigdump" for this. Like the previously mentioned "lscp" application, these are some of a bunch of command line tools that are automatically installed along to the sampler. There are much more like command line tools for file format conversion etc. Each one is coming with a user manual. Type i.e. "man gigdump" on the terminal to see more. The problem for you however is probably that "gigdump" actually dumps a load of information, not only the instrument names, but almost everything that is stored in the .gig file, like individual instrument patch parameters, all the samples, their loop points and so on. But I could add you a command line switch to gigdump such that it only prints you a list of instruments if that would help you. > QSampler might work better, however, it fails to start on my system.

However QSampler currently does not support the sampler backend's instruments DB feature yet. The reason why QSampler is currently not running on your Mac is because the Qt library needs to be updated on our automatic build server. That takes a while because it requires us manual cross compilation and dealing with couple issues on our server. But I could do that somewhere next week or so.
