thanks Gord, Yeah, sfz is awesome. I use that a lot. However, you can use so many good libraries with gigastudio. My school has Vienna library , and it's very awesome. Vienna beats all other orchestral samples, east west, garritan orchestra, sonivox, and so on. Some of my classmates who have those library on their computers come to school to use vienna. Also you can use early east west giga library like quantom choir, and so on.

I think you need to bring up some sort of properties window or something when you click on it. It has been something like nearly 3 years since I've used giga, it was just so unwieldy and such a resource hog. I just love sfz and what it can do for us.

I got the rest of the stuff you told me. Thanks. Chi ----- Original Message ----- From: Gordon Kent To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 9:53 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: sfz files Oh that is a very involved process. You need to insert giga as a rewire device. It has been a very long time since I've done this and I don't even have giga on my system any more. It seemed to make everything else unstable. You need to define how many rewire outputs you want in giga, then you need to set up each channel slot in giga to be routed to a specific output. Then you need to load each channel with the sample you want. THere are keystrokes to select the channel you will load, you turn num lock on and press the appropriate numbers on the keypad and press enter.

I tried convert many giga libraries to sfz, and it seems it's size issue. The ones under 1gb worked pretty well. I asked on cakewalk forum, but I got no answer. Can you explain how to setup multiple audio output of gigastudio and assign patches so that they get routed to sonar?

I don't know if the size of the samples is the issue, or the complexity of the mapping. I wonder if there is anything on the cakewalk forums about this. What are you using to convert your samples to sfz? I use extreme sample converter, though I think awave also will work.

I tried with some giga library, but it doesn't seem work well for samples over 1gb. I also remember you mentioned you can use multiple audio output of gigastudio. How do you do that with Jaws? Can you explain to me in detail? thanks in advance, chi ----- Original Message ----- From: Gordon Kent To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 11:46 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: sfz files Hello: Go to www.rgcaudio.com and click on the link that says, "the sfz format."
