I dont have a girlfriend.

Rajiv (and whoever's interested),

Check out GVI. Runs as a VST. No GSIF hardware required.

I bought the Giga-Ensemble for $50. Runs fine on my PC. Goes to show you that not all DAWs are created (and run) alike. For $50 I got a nice manual and the GIGA editor as well... to me, it's already a good deal.

Then by registering with Tascam, I qualify for GVI at the well-discounted price of $125! Compare that to $399 for Kontakt2. To a hobbyist like me, it's a huge difference.

Good to know... I hadn't thought of that. Based on my frustration with GigaStudio, I'm not terribly inclined to spend another $125 on Tascam products. But it's worth a look. Thanks!

FYI, if you hate dongles, keep moving. If I remember right, it has Syncrosoft (as does Cubase, IK, Korg, Arturia, etc).

Miroslav got me over my dislike of Syncrosoft dongles, but unless I find a sweet price to upgrade to GVI, K2 is plenty for me.
