Three New GigaStudio Libraries ReleasedNew Symphonic Organ, Saxophone and Woodwind Libraries are GigaStudio Exclusives November 5, 2003
A trio of new sound libraries have just been added to the selection of instruments available to GigaStudio users. The new Peter Ewers' Symphonic Organ Samples 2, John Rekevics Saxophone and Westgate Studios Woodwind Collection libraries have been exclusively released in the TASCAM GigaStudio format.
The Peter Ewers' Symphonic Organ Samples 2 library captures the powerful sound of The Grand Pierre Schyven Pipe Organ in the Royal Church of Notre-Dame de Laeken, Brussels. This library replicates a world-class pipe organ in its natural acoustic environment -- all playable in real-time with GigaStudio's Behavioural Sampling technologies. The natural reverberation of the cathedral is heard upon key-release. When you let the key go, a second sample is played, echoing the rich natural reverberation of the cathedral.
The John Rekevics Saxophone Library spans four CDs: one each for Baritone, Tenor, Alto and Soprano Saxophone. Every note of vintage Selmer Mark VI instruments were sampled and played by veteran studio musician John Rekevics, and were mastered in both mono and stereo. Over 30 instrument presets are found on each CD -- including smooth, vibrato, staccato, falls and growls -- and each instrument has over 500MB of samples. These libraries are available individually and as a bundle.
The Westwind Studios Woodwind Collection contains all of the major orchestral woodwinds: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet and Bassoon. Each note has been chosen for the most natural sound while achieving low memory usage in GigaStudio. Yet despite their low memory usage, all samples play for their full duration without loops, and each sustained note is available in up to four velocities. Whole and Half-step trills are included, as well as Forte Piano Crescendos and flutter-tongue flute samples. And the keyswitch programming makes it easy to use any of these articulations in the middle of a phrase.
