SAM Horns Art update (Oct 19th)

[Maarten Spruijt]

To all SAM Horns users:

We uploaded a new Art file to our website.

This update is quite important. It gives you:
- improved tuning of the sustain samples
- improved tuning of all marcato samples
- improved consistency of all marcato samples
- improved consistency of the glissando/rip samples

- improvement of the whole SAM Solo Horn patch

Enjoy!

The SAM Team

Maarten,

Is there any chance that non-Gigastudio users (EXS, Kontakt, etc) who cannot read .art files will be able to access your updates?

[Maarten Spruijt]

As far as I know: no.

Art files are for the Giga Editor and contain information to edit the programs, leaving the wav files themselves alone.

As long as other sample platforms don\'t read art files, I think the only solution now is to load the files on a Giga system, update the samples, burn them and go back to your prefered sampler. images/icons/smile.gif

Any others having done some research on this?

<font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\">Maarten, should this .art file also be applied to the effects gigs?
Thanks,
Jack

[Maarten Spruijt]

Nope Jack. Effects would need their own art file, but so far there was no need for one yet.

Thanks for the quick reply Maarten. Very much appreciated. Your library is awesome!

Anyone who is using Kontakt ,Halion, or
EXS 24- you may want to consider getting
Gigastudio 32 just for updating your giga libraries with the .art update files. I use a Mac with virtual PC and I use the Gigastudio 32
simply just to update my Giga libraries to load into Halion and Kontakt. It seems to work fine using Virtual PC although it is very slow. Gigastudio 32 sells for under $100.00.

Hope this helps-Tom

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Thanks for the tip, Tom! I will consider Virtual PC.

[Maarten Spruijt]

That\'s a fantastic idea!

I always wondered what the use was of that cheap 32 voice Gigastudio version... well here it is! images/icons/smile.gif

I assume Virtual PC will only run the Editor, not the native Giga workstation itself, right?

Virtual PC will run any pc program compatible with the windoze version you\'re running. Providing you have the power that is - don\'t expect any reasonable Giga performance!

[Maarten Spruijt]

So you are seriously suggesting Giga will run under MacOS this way? No matter what bad/good performance? images/icons/smile.gif

I always thought programs like Virtual PC would just pick a few procent of the available PC software and crash on the rest.

Maarten

[Hasen]

Well it\'ll run but don\'t expect anything useful other than it just working. images/icons/smile.gif You\'ll probably find its a lot more reliable than a real pc in fact. Virtual PC is really very good and it will run all incarnations of windoze. If you have a dual gig Mac then you might actually have a fairly useable pc on your hands - and it lives in perfect harmony with your Mac exchanging files with drag and drop.

[PeterRoos]

Maybe the GigaEditor may work this way, but I cannot imagine that the low-level \"kernel\" of GigaStudio will run in an emulator. However, for just updating .Gig files, without the option to audition the instruments, this actually might be a very worthwhile trick.
