NemeSys would like to make available the v2.01 patch to the Giga community. This patch is NOT officially released, and we will be updating it in the next couple of days. An official notice will be sent out when it is released. However, if you would like to try this beta version of the patch, please go to the following link:
www.nemesysmusic.com/products/versions.html (\"http://www.nemesysmusic.com/products/versions.html\")

A couple of things to remember:

1. You must be registered for 24 hours to get this or any other patch update.
2. If you have a problem and speak to anyone on technical support, please tell them that you are using the v2.01 patch update.
3. Please remember to get the official patch update when it is released.

Here is the current list of the improvements made in this patch. This most recent list can be found in the release notes.

1. The following graphics card caused the application to either GPF or
become unstable:
STB 4400
Diamond viper 550
Intel i740
NOTE: There may be other cards with the same problems. These are the only
ones we have identified.

2. The Editor bugs have been fixed:
a. Not all Sound font files were properly converted.
b. A VC++ Runtime error would occur whenever the editor was up
and the user tried to edit a new instrument from within GSt.
c. The editor would always use Port 1 channel 1 for editing.
d. Dragging a file on the opened editor would not work.
e. Envelop drawing in the velocity split windows show incorrect Decay 1.
f. Editing sub-instruments from a .gig file while loaded in the Studio
has been fixed.
g. Dragging samples from one folder to another folder in the \'wave\' windows
has been fixed.
h. SF2 files with more than 128 instruments are now handled.

3. 24-bit capture to disk would crash the system in msg32.exe

4. Midi Control data was not properly getting restored from a perfomance.

5. Audio was breaking up at low polyphony on the following
audio hardware:
Mixtreme SoundScape.
EgoSys WamiRack/2496
MidiMan Delta 1010
NOTE: This may not be a complete list of audio hardware which was suffering
from this issue.

6. GigaStudio only recognized one of the system\'s CDROMs.

7. Certain midi controllers were causing the sustain pedal to be lost on
channels 2-16.

8. Instrument with Bank 1 and the \'Drum\' switch on would show up as a
extremely large bank number in the application, and you could not
load the instrument onto multiple channels.

9. Instruments with Banks other than 0 would not be properly saved/restored
in a performance.

10. \'GPC 3\' and \'GPC 4\' was improperly labeled on controller surface.

11. Emagic\'s Logic sequencer would not properly working with the GigaStudio.

12. A memory leak was occurring with v2.0 gig files. Eventually, the sampler
would indicate that some non-zero memory usage was occurring eventhough
there were no instruments loaded.

13. SConverter displayed garbage for volume names when a second Akai disk
was inserted (Symphony of Voices problem).

14. SConverter may cause GStudio to crash when LiquidGrooves Disque A is converted.

15. SConverter crashes when converting a volume with no programs(Skippy\'s Big Bad Beats).

16. SConverter generates 0Hz Waves with Miroslav Vitous Acoustic Piano.

17. Dither and Master Attenuation settings were not preserved between Windows sessions.

18. The Conversion from 1.0 to 2.0 now has a progress meter. Also the display
properly updates after the conversion. There was bug which left the version
displayed on the screen incorrect.

Thanks Joe. But I have one more question: When are you going to release an NFX4 module that actually installs? I appreciate the \"gift\" and all, and normally I don\'t look a gift horse in the mouth, but when the horse is DOA, I don\'t really appreciate having to drag it off and bury it somewhere http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif


Peace,

I had exactly the same experience with my NFX \"gift\". Has anyone solved this? When I saved it to disk and executed it nothing happened. Nemesys suggested it was a problem with my email security. NOT!! So like my predecessor I gave up.

Try again worked great here. It is very possible that there is a problem with your mail server.

I can save it to disk just fine. It says it is an executable. When I try to execute nothing happens. If there is an FTP location that I can download from I could try that.

Hi Joe, Can\'t speak for everyone else, but the \"beta\" update fixes the two problems listed above... I love running Logic & Gig w/o Hubi\'s :-)

I downloaded the NFX 4 and saved it in my Gigstudio folder. I opened/installed it just fine. I used it yesterday without problems in one of my compositions.

I use Outlook express 5.

I use Outlook 2000. The first time I ran it, it acted like it was going to install, then it gave me an error message:

\"GigaStudio installation corrupt. Please reinstall.\"

I don\'t think so.

I had *just* installed a clean Win 98 on a brand new machine. Win 98 was functioning perfectly (well, as perfect as it is capable of). I had *just* installed GigaStudio and all my sample libraries. GigaStudio too was functioning as well as it can. The installation of GigaStudio was not corrupt. The installation of NFX4 was. I don\'t know about you guys, but I don\'t appreciate being told to reinstall stuff I just installed. It usually amounts to no good too.

Anyway, this was done with the *second* version of the NFX4 module that was released a few days after GigaStudio shipped. I avoided the first incarnation since Nemesys actually admitted it was faulty.

I immediately emailed my problem to Nemesys. SIX WEEKS LATER, I finally got a response. They emailed me another executable. (I\'ll bet people with 28.8kbps access really appreciate *that*... fortunately I have a 1.5 megabit SDSL connection).

I tried the new one. It went completely through the installation process without a problem... except for one: it failed to install the NFX4.DLL that goes in the components directory... hence it installed everything except what it needed to. I immediately emailed Nemesys. No response... as usual.

I\'m still waiting for answers to a whole host of other questions. First and foremost: Why does the \"Hardware/Routing\" screen say \"GSIF Compatible: Yes\" for my Gina card running 5.05 drivers, yet the diag routine reports: \"Number of GSIF compatible devices: 0\". And is this connected to the sluggish performance (no clicking and popping) that I\'m experiencing on a PIII 733 with 512MB of RAM and two 4.3ms 10,000 RPM Ultra 160 SCSI drives?

In every case, I\'ve met or far exceeded all the recommended standards that Nemesys required for GigaStudio, yet the performance still sucks cancerous bull scrota. I\'ve been more than patient with their nonexistent support. I\'ve waited weeks and even months for answers to simple questions like: \"Why doesn\'t this do what you say it does?\" Yet, I\'m treated like dirt by them. Frankly, I\'m mad as hell and I\'m not gonna take it any more.

No justice, no peace,
Tim

Hi!
Just reacting to the NFX4 posts (the sluggish performance of the Gst I will not comment, after all would I be be able to load the complete Mozart symphony orchestra into an AKAI sampler and run it alongside my Cubase with only occasional blue screens? - being sarcastic, you know). I downloaded the effect using Outlook Express, it installed without problem and runs.

Is the Frontier Design\'s WaveCenter/PCI card on the list (i.e. had these polyphony problems with the version 2.0)?
