You can use awave as a demo to convert, you just won't get a multiple
instrument to completely conver; for example if you have a giga file with 3
instruments in it, say a bass, piano and drum set, you can only convert one
of those 3.  I never seen more than 1 instrument per giga file however, so
don't know if this is their nature or what, and don't see a problem with
converting.  As long as you do some preconversion stuff in awave studio's
settings, you won't have any loss in sound quality.  Hint, you can use awave
to convert from giga to sf2, and then use sf2 patcher to combine multiple
sound fonts...
 
Hope this helps, D!J!X!

I heard someone on this list mension something about a free softwhere that
converts giga to SF2. Has anyone ever used this softwhere? How much of the
quality is lost after the conversion?
