Is there any sampler out there (or converter) that will CORRECTLY translate gigastudio 3 instrument files? I know Kontakt can import gig files (as well as other samplers), but many parameters are missing. I'm building a wonderful piano sound in GS3 right now, and I love having individual control of filters, envelopes, volume and tuning for EACH sample. This allows me to precisely voice each piano note to my taste. I think Kontakt is no good for this since everything in Kontakt is based on groups, and it offers little individual control over all those parameters for each sample used. I have to have seperate settings for all velocity layers and releases.

What I really want is the Giga Virtual Instrument VSTi to become open source, or at least it should be made available to developers for a nominal fee. I've yet to find a sampler out there that offers so much control over the individual samples. For doing group edits and special programming, Kontakt is great. But for my pianos, I need a lot of control for voicing.

Any thoughts?!?!?

Given the bulk of soundfonts are user-generated, it would be much more useful to assume that all soundfonts are legit unless stated otherwise.
If anyone wants to build a list of known illegal ones, that would be a good and worthwhile cause. Until then, I don't think it's particularly helpful to make people nervous with unfounded conjectures.

Not trying to make people nervous with unfounded gestures. Just making a point and not implicating anyone or any sf2 in the process.

I've passed on a bit of background info to Ben though that I won't disclose here.

All I'll say at this point is that I have found questionable samples in free SF2 files at some sites.

A list of illegal ones ...may just cause some folks to search them though, so may not be good either.

Anyways guys...I love free stuff ...and not trying to knock it. Just trying to make sure folks are aware.

Unfortunately, they're aren't enough 'nervous' downloaders on the net. If the entire VSL Symphonic Cube were available as a free download, no questions asked, you can bet your last dollar that it is illegal. But how many are going to ask questions?

... there's a difference between being cautious and being stupid. Most SF2's are user-made. Very few are rips.

Matt, I've just had a look, but before I download anything, I'm confused. what is the difference between a soundfont and a vst plug-in (both being samples, of course)?

metamorphosis · Post by **metamorphosis** » Sun May 17, 2009 10:31 pm

A vst plugin is not a sample, though it may contain samples.
IF a vst plugin is doing waveform playback, it will contain it's own playback engine of some description. A soundfont does not contain it's own playback engine and requires an engine to do so - like SFZ VST.
Hope this helps-
