Soundlib has released version 2.0 of G-Player, the native Giga file player for Mac OS X and Windows.

G-Player 2.0 includes the following changes from version 1.x:

• The standalone version has 8 MIDI ports and is therefore able to support up to 96 MIDI channels.
• A 16 track audio mixer with built-in Compressor, EQ and support for 2 external effect plug-ins. All parts are now routed to the audio mixer.
• A new G-Sound utility that scan your hard drives and build a database of all your Giga files.
• The stack icon in the toolbar has been replaced by individual stack buttons for each part.
• The VCA and VCF can be adjusted for each part in a stack.
• The part order in a stack can be modified by simply dragging one part up or down.
• The built-in keyboard displays the notes played on an external keyboard or MIDI track.
• Each part has a new pitch transpose control.

Price: $149.
