TASCAM GigaStudio 3.04 Known Issues
GigaStudio 3.04 Known Issues
1
• GS2 and GS3 cannot be installed on the
same machine.
• The GS3 performance file contains many
new parameters not found in GS2. If you
open any GS2 performances in GS3, save the
GS3 versions separately – do not overwrite
the GS2 versions unless you have them
backed up.
• Performance files do not restore correctly
when saved while a DSP Station channel
is solo’d. Clear all solos before saving a
performance.
• DSP Station Insert FX must be added/re-
moved in order – it is only possible to remove
the most recently loaded FX.
• DSP Station Dynamics & EQ channel strip
FX produce a small click when enabled/dis-
abled and their settings are modifying the
signal’s gain.
• If a stacked instrument .gsi file is loaded
that contains instruments that are already
loaded, they will be in the wrong stack or-
der.
• GSI performances built when the entire Giga-
Piano-II .gig file is loaded, load with extra
instances of GigaPulse. The workaround
is to load the individual instrument from
within the GigaPiano-II .gig file and build
your .gsi performance from that.
• In order for the correct sound to always be
heard on FX coupled instruments (GigaPulse
encoded instruments), the ability to bypass
FX in the MIDI Mixer is currently disabled.
This is in contradiction to the FX button
behavior noted in the GS3 Manual.
• Do not use “Save as…” on a GigaPulse encoded
instrument from the GigaStudio Instrument
Editor. Doing so may cause the instrument
to be unplayable.
• You may notice that the MIDI Mixer meters
stick on when GigaPiano-II is loaded but
not being played. GigaPiano-II has a sample
that is triggered for damper OFF (D#8) and
a different one for damper ON (D8). It only
sends the note off for the opposite sample
when the damper is pressed or released, so
effectively there is always a note ON.
• DSP Station channel strip dynamics are not
available on non-SSE processors.
• DSP Station channel strip EQs are not avail-
able on non-SSE processors.
• Do not change hardware buffer settings
while GigaStudio is playing audio. Doing
so may crash GigaStudio.
• Sometimes instruments within a Gig file
appear in the wrong order. The workaround
is to rebuild the QuickSound database.
• If convolution encoded instrument is copied
onto a GS3 system without its associated
.gx99 file, a “No Banks Found” error mes-
sage will be displayed upon loading the
instrument. Always be sure to keep .gx99
files together with their .gig files.
