Performance/Instrument Loading

Performance
“Remember recent performance files” will define a number from 0-16 recent performance 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/Removing
"Ask for confirmation on 'Unload all instruments" will prompt you when you clear the RAM buffer.

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 automatically whenever a standard
GM file is dragged to the MIDI Mixer interface. This feature particularly pertains to certain GM libraries for
GigaStudio such as the Conexant GM500 General MIDI sample library available from TASCAM®.
