Shirokuma Announces GigaStudio 3 Version of NDB Pipe Organ
July 9, 2004
Shirokuma Ltd. annouced that it will release the new,
extended edition of its Notre Dame de Budapest (NDB) Pipe Organ Samples collection together with the
release of GigaStudio 3, the latest version of the Tascam's PC sampling software. The
library, grown to more than 20 GB, utilizes the most advanced features of the next-generation GigaStudio.
'The new edition of NDB is likely to satisfy even the most demanding organists. We've practically
recorded all the stops and combinations our users wished for," said Csaba Huszty, NDB architect and lead
engineer. "The new edition will exceed the previous version in just about every detail. The sound samples
are now all in 24-bit, 48 kHz format and the library contains well over fifty combinations and stops from
the two majestic Hungarian symphonic organs. And it even costs less."
The new library will come out in two editions: besides the Full Edition, there will be an entry-level
Compact Edition for the casual organist. Both editions will also be available in 16-bit format so that
GigaStudio 2.x users can benefit from the enhancements of the library, too.
