Hi all,

I\'m having a bit of a strange problem when it comes to creating keyswitching instruments. Generally I can create them with no problems but now and then when adding an instrument the new instrument bumps out one of the previous additions. So for example when I had 4 dimensions and added a 5th I\'d suddenly only have 4; 3 original plus the new one. Sometimes adding extra dimension keys helps but not always. Anyone else have this problem? Any tips appreciated.

The problem is that Giga has only 32 dimensions. And when you get stereo files this diminish to 16 dimensions only. So If
you combine gigs with keyswitching, before or
later, you\'re out of dimensions!
For example, you have gig file with 3 velocities (Giga takes 4 dimensions for 3 velocities, this is very saad thing, because
options are only 2/4/8/16/32), you have only
four possible dimensions left. Maybe you want
use 2 dimensions for Mod Wheel ?
So, only 2 left for keyswitches !!!

WE NEED MORE DIMENSIONS!!!!
AT LEAST 64, 128 IS BETTER!!!
GIGAFOLKS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ????

Hi Marco,

It\'s a good point but I don\'t think that\'s my problem in this case. I\'m using mono samples without any velocity splits or mod wheel. I\'ve built instruments with 8 or 10 keyswitches before and libraries like the Scarbee bass come that way as well. This is just a weird thing that seems to happen randomly, it could be after adding 2 dimensions or after 3 or 6. There doesn\'t seem to be a pattern.
