SERIOUSLY good stuff, load your giga samples faster

Thanks to Nick B. for bringing this to my attention. I just tried it out. AMAZING. SAM Trombones, which was (on my machine at least) notorious for taking a while to load up, came up in less than half the time.

I don't know how it works, but it works.

Is this only for version 3 of Giga, or will it work with earlier versions?

I think this is for 2.5 only. It was really slow and would sometimes just sit idle.

GS3 loads like lightning compared to 2.5 - even with the optimizer.

Must agree, GS3 is a Formula 1 compared with GS2,5

Been using it for awhile, clued in by someone on the VSL forum. It does work. From time to time, it still bogs down, and for whatever reason, switching between GIGA and this little app, a couple times back and forth, seems to wake things up and off you go again.

You should be thanking Mattias, not me. He's also the person who figured out how to load 20% more into Giga than anyone was loading before.

I think this is for 2.5 only.
True. I've finally updated the pages to include the Gigastudio version they apply to.

Thanks for this utility Matthias! I've been using it with GS2.5 for months, and it took away so much frustration.
Btw, the GS2.5 instruments are taking a lot more time to load in GS3, should loading times improve if I convert all those files to GS3 format?

20% more samples?

I'm loading between 60 and 70% without taking a dump.

Is there a way to load more that that?

Thanks!

This is a must gave for 2.5 with XP. With G3, I have found no need for it.

Flare, you have to look at Task Manager to see how much memory is being accessed, not at the percentage counter in Giga.

You can find out about the tweaks at Mattias' site, linked at the top of this thread.
