PRESS RELEASE

GigaStudio 3 to Include Exclusive Vienna Giga Symphony Library

July 23, 2004

TASCAM has joined with Vienna Symphonic Library, creators of their orchestral library, to create Vienna Giga Symphony--an exclusive new collection to be included free with copies of GigaStudio 3 Orchestra, which begins shipping late July 2004. The new library has been produced at 24-bit resolution and recorded in the Vienna Symphonic Library's custom-built Silent Stage in Vienna. This new library includes over 4GB of orchestral samples from every instrument family of the orchestra -- strings, winds, brass and percussion--including up and down-bow alternations powered by GS3's new iMIDI rules.

  • Violin ensemble: Staccato (Up and Down bow), sustains, tremolo, pizzicato

GigaStudio 3 adds a list of new features designed to make music production easier while producing the most authentic acoustic simulations ever created.

  • Unlimited Polyphony -- whatever your system can deliver (GS3 Orchestra)
  • VST Plug-In support -- use your favorite effects in GigaStudio
  • Rewire support -- GigaStudio's outputs now connect directly to a sequencer through software signal routing
  • 24-bit sample support -- a new dimension of detail, without affecting disk performance
  • 96kHz sample support -- load 24-bit/96kHz instruments for stunning realism and detail
  • Expanded mixer -- now supports 128 channels and 32 fader groups
  • Quick Edit -- by popular demand, edit most parameters without opening the instrument editor
  • New User Interface look and feel -- a modern overhaul to the look of GigaStudio
  • Intelligent MIDI -- Legato, Alternation, Random modes and more
  • Sample Recording -- A true sampler should be able to record samples, not just play them back. New GSIF 2.0-compatible soundcards now support input as well as output for recording directly into GigaStudio
  • Kernel-level MIDI -- New MIDI input technology virtually eliminates latency and reduces jitter on the incoming MIDI data
  • Surround placement -- using a native version of GigaPulse with extra channels for surround
  • GigaPulse -- Included with every version of GigaStudio 3, models the resonance of a space, microphone or instrument body for the most realistic sampled instruments ever. A playback-only version, GigaPulse SP, is included with Ensemble and Solo. GigaPulse Pro is included with GigaStudio 3 Orchestra, and offers the ability to create your own reverb impulses and add them to instruments.
