main difference is that this setting is used specifiaclly for a “Reset” operation while the
startup is intended to be used as a “startup state”. You may wish for both to do exactly
the same thing. If you would prefer not to retain the window sizes and positions on a
“Reset” then you should leave this option disabled.
“Load Default performance after reset”. Use this option to load a preferred default
performance upon “Reset” whether or not you have defined this as a “startup state”.
Use combinations of reset options depending on the project and its specific needs.
Here are some examples:
• Reset only the loaded instruments while retaining all the mixer settings and win-
dow positions and sizes.
•Reset only the hardware in the case of overly stressed hardware/drivers.
•Reset the preferred default performance such as an orchestral template with a pal-
ette of instruments, mixer settings, effects, and all the window sizes and positions.
Performance/Instrument Loading
Performance
“Remember recent performance files” will define a number from 0-16 recent perfor-
mance files in the File menu list.
“Remember recent .gig files” will define a number from 0-16 recent instrument files
in the File menu list.
Loading from the QuickSound Window
Set the default state of a load performed form the QuickSound window with a drag-
and-drop operation.
“Load on current channel, replacing previous instrument” is the default state for a
load operation. Hold down the [Ctrl] key while loading to assert stacked instrumen-
mode for the selected channel. As soon as the instrument is stacked to a channel the
mode will revert to normal (not stacked) until the [Ctrl] key is used again during a drag-
and-drop load operation.
“Stack on current channel” can be set as the default state for all drag-and-drop load
operations by selecting this option. While you are working in this state, hold down the
[Ctrl] key to revert to a normal (non-stacked) load operation.
General MIDI Support
Define a folder where your General MIDI library is located. This helps GigaStudio to
make instrument assignments by program change numbers whenever a standard GM
file is dragged to the MIDI Mixer interface. A standard file browser window is provided
for this preference.
“Launch Sequencer on downloading MIDI file” will open your sequencer automati-
