GigaStudio 3.0 is a stand-alone Windows application that uses hard disk streaming to create the most realistic sampled instruments ever created. It offers access to the finest sound libraries ever assembled, from extensive orchestral collections, detailed piano samples, rich basses, rare keyboards and much more.

GigaStudio is available in three versions – Orchestra, Ensemble and Solo – it offers up to unlimited polyphony, 96kHz/24-bit sample support, ReWire support, VST FX plugin support, and GigaPiano 2, real-time convolution and a new look and feel.

GigaStudio 3 adds a list of new features over v2.5, designed to make music production easier while producing the most authentic sampled instruments ever created, including:

  • Unlimited Polyphony – in GigaStudio 3 Orchestra, dependant on hard drive speed. 160 voice polyphony in GS3 Ensemble, 96 voices in GS3 Solo.
  • VST Plug-In support – use your favorite effects in GigaStudio.
  • Rewire support – GigaStudio now provides virtual MIDI and audio connections between a sequencer and GS3.
  • 24-bit sample support – a new dimension of detail, without affecting polyphony.
  • 96kHz sample support – load 24-bit/96kHz instruments for stunning realism.
  • Expanded mixer – now supports 128 channels and 32 fader groups.

Product: CVPiano (Continuous Velocity Piano)
Developer: Tascam
Type: Piano / Keys
Price: Free
OS: WindowsMac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VST
Continuous Velocity Piano is based on spectral morphing. Eliminating the need for many bulky, discrete sample layers, spectral morphing technology produces continuous, spectral variation by processing only a single baseline sample velocity. Using the baseline as a starting point, the spectral morphing filters then dynamically interpolate frequency characteristics, which can then be continuously morphed during and after musical notes are played. The result is far greater musicality with over ten times the amount of dynamic expression. Another benefit is that instruments are much smaller in memo... [more]

 
Product: GigaPulse
Developer: Tascam
Type: Reverb
Price: $299
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
GigaPulse is Tascam's first VST plug-in for Windows. Using convolving technology, which essentially "samples" a room or acoustic body, GigaPulse can emulate any room, vintage EQ or microphone. GigaPulse goes beyond most convolving reverb plug-ins with its built-in mic modeling, which can change the quality of the reverb recording or can be used on its own to add vintage microphone warmth to your recordings. The user can select the position of the sound source in the room with a 2-dimentional grid, the perfect effect for orchestral arrangements and other spacious mixes. And Tail Extension tec...

Product: GigaViolin
Developer: Tascam
Type: Strings / Orchestral
Price: $129
OS: WindowsMac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VST
GigaViolin fuses the realism of sampling with the power of convolution-based modeling to "redefine what is possible from a sample library". GigaViolin takes advantage of the processing power offered by GigaStudio to create a realistic solo violin. The convolution-based body resonance technology takes a raw bowed string sample and uses GigaPulse technology to model a varied selection of rich, vintage violin bodies. The result is realism with notes that naturally decay, and expressive performance possibilities - including dynamic portamento & vibrato, and changing bowing articulat... [more]

 
Product: GVI (Giga Virtual Instrument)
Developer: Tascam
Type: Sampler/Sample Player
Price: $399
OS: WindowsMac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VSTAudio Unit
Giga Virtual Instrument (GVI) is the first plug-in sampler instrument powered by the Giga sampling engine. GVI is a 16-part multi-timbral sampler with unlimited polyphony performance and the ability to run multiple instances - limited only by the power of your computer. GVI takes advantage of the latest Giga technology, like 96kHz/24-bit sample support, iMIDI rules for realistic phrasing and embedded GigaPulse technology for instrument resonance and ambience. GVI offers comprehensive editing features with a a sampler engine designed to provide rich, dense sounds that can be tweaked and manip... [more]
