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.
