The SFZ software instrument that comes with Sonar 7 will play Gigga instruments. I haven't used it for anything more than basic instruments, but it should work for you. You can't edit, but, if playing existing ones is all you want to do, you should be fine.

I own the Ivory, but this newly sampled instrument adds a new character to the spectrum Ivory can do. I'm familiar with soft synths and sonar 4. However, I never worked with a software sample player, because most of this stuff does not seem to be accessible. Question now is: what would you guys recommend buying, to play libraries that come in the giga format: either v sampler, giga studio, or is there something else that you know of, that works accessibly for us? Interested to hear your opinions or experiences, Paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 9:19 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Cake Talking 7 documentation question > Hi Darren, > > Have you tried contacting you local dealer - about 10-12 > miles away from you?
