[. . . ] GIGASTUDIO 3 - Frequently Asked Questions General: What are the minimum system requirements to run GigaStudio 3 Orchestra?The performance of this system depends largely on how full your startup drive is. The best way to increase the polyphony of this system would be an additional hard drive just for your samples: · Windows XP SP1 · Pentium® 4 1. 7GHz processor or AMD 2100 XP processor (SSE-compatible processors required for GigaPulseTM) · 512MB RAM · DVD-ROM drive · 1024 x 768 monitor resolution · 100MB application hard drive space · MIDI interface · GSIF-compatible sound card or ReWire-compatible host application What are the recommended system requirements to run GigaStudio 3 Orchestra?This system should get you 200+ voices of polyphony and several instances of GigaPulse (your mileage may vary due to several factors): · Windows XP SP1 · Pentium® 4 2. 8GHz processor or AMD 3200 XP processor (SSE-compatible processors required for GigaPulseTM) · 1GB RAM · DVD-ROM drive · 1024 x 768 monitor resolution · 1GB application hard drive space · Dedicated sample drive with many free gigabytes or sample storage space; 7200 RPM with 8MB cache, 8. 9ms seek time · MIDI interface · GSIF-compatible sound card or ReWire-compatible host application top Will a computer with a Pentium 3 processor be able to run GigaStudio 3? [. . . ] My audio card is not on your GSIF compatible list, but I am pretty sure it is GSIF compatible. If your card is not our list it may have came out after the last time our list was updated. The only way to be sure is to check with card manufacture and see if they indeed support the GSIF drive. This has to be done by the audio card manufacturer. GigaStudio File Formats: How come when I save a performance (GSP) It does not save all of the settings I made?When you do a Save as in Gigastudio 3 the "Save as" box will appear, In that box (besides choosing the path of where you want to save) you will have two choices "Save entire Gigastudio environment" or "Use Customized Performance". If you have "Use Customized Performance" checked you may have certain settings unchecked so that they will not save. Page 5 of 11 What is the difference between . GSP and . GSI?A performance file (. GSP) is a map of every Instrument loaded, every knob, fader, and slider setting, every audio effect, and GigaPulse setting, as well as the size and arrangement of the various graphical componets displayed. A . GSI doesn't save the whole environment it just saves the instruments loaded along with mixer settings. A good example of using this would be when you are stacking instruments. Lets say you stack a bunch of different drum libraries on to one channel in GS3, You may have the snare from one library, and the kick from another and so on, You then route them to different DSP channels and set up this great custom drum set. You can then save it as a . GSI so that you can open it up and use it in other performances (. GSP). Page 61 of the GS3 users manual goes into further detail. GigaPulse: What is the difference between GigaPulse SP, included with GS3 Solo Ensemble and Orchestra, and GigaPulse Pro which is only included with GS3 Orchestra?GigaPulse SP allows you to play back libraries (. gig files) that have embedded GigaPulse impulses, like the piano body resonance in GigaPiano 2. GigaPulse SP will allow you to adjust the basic settings (Input Level, Mic Level, Perspective, Wet/Dry Mix, Pre-Delay as well as enable and disable any of the 7 mics) and choose any library-specific presets. GigaPulse Pro adds the ability to add GigaPulse convolution to your own instruments to use it as a reverb plug-in with the reverb convolution impulses included with GigaStudio. In addition GigaPulse Pro allows you to record your own impulses or embed an impulse into a GigaStudio instrument. It is only in GS3 Orchestra that you have to option to insert the GigaPulse Pro plug in on any audio channel that you want in the DSP mixer. If you have Ensemble or Solo GigaPulse SP will only show up on Instruments that have GigaPulse encoded into the . gig file. If you purchased a Retail version from a dealer the CD key should be located on the inside of the DVD or CD case.
