QuickSound ToolBar Buttons
Audition Sounds within the QuickSound Application
Once the QuickSound database has been built, you can listen to the files via QuickSound’s audition button.
Simple highlight the desired Instrument/Audio file and click the Audition Button in the main Quicksound
Toolbar (speaker with play button).
This is separate from GigaStudio and plays back sounds through the Windows sound system. As a result, you
first need to make sure that Windows is set to play back through your desired monitoring system.
Configuring the Windows XP Sound System
• Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-click on Sounds and Audio Devices.
• Click on the Sounds tab and for Sound Scheme, select No Sounds. This is recommended so that system
sounds don’t blast your ears while you’re auditioning sounds via QuickSound.
• Click on the Audio tab and under Sound Playback, Default Device, use the drop-down menu to select the
desired sound card you want to use for monitoring. You can adjust volume by clicking on the Volume
button.
• Click on Apply if it’s not grayed-out, then click on OK.
Auditioning Instruments using GigaStudio
When the Audition Mode button is enabled (highlighted yellow) in the main Quicksound toolbar, double-
clicking on an instrument will default to loading on the same selected GigaStudio channel every time. This
allows you to rapidly load instrument variations onto a single MIDI channel to audition with your keyboard.
When the Audition Instruments button is disabled, double-clicking on an instrument will instead load that
instrument into the next empty MIDI channel in GigaStudio.
Stacking with Stack Mode
When the Stack Mode Button in the main Quicksound Toolbar is enabled, double clicking on an instrument
in QuickSound will stack that instrument on the currently selected channel in GigaStudio.
It is also possible to Stack multiple instruments simultaneously by first selecting multiple instruments, then
holding the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping them onto the desired MIDI channel in Giga.
Commands to: feature
With both GigaStudio and GVI installed on your system, it is necessary to specify which application you are
currently using. This is to make sure that double-clicking on an instrument loads that instrument into the
desired platform. Use the drop-down menu to choose between compatible installed applications.
