  · This piano is exclusively GigaStudio 3.0 format. GigaStudio 2.0 does not allow instruments larger than 2.1 gigabytes.. Three size versions are included but even the smallest 48kHz version is too large for Giga 2 format.

  IMPORT WARNING! No current "translation" or "Giga Import" supports Giga3 Format. Check with your software supplier for updated "import" capabilities.

  · The 48kHz 2.6 gigabyte size Tascam Disk Accelerated version should run well on Pentium 4 machines with UDMA100 or faster disk drives. Minimum 512megabytes RAM. This version definitely plays perfectly on Pentium 4 /2.6 gigahertz/ 1 gigabyte RAM with RAID configured hard disks.

  · The full size 24/96kHz and uncompressed 24/48kHz versions are included for use on fast machines with fast disk drives such as SATA RAID zero configured systems with 1 gigabyte or more of RAM. The 2496 version plays correctly on our test system (3gHz CPU RAID zero SATA Seagate harddrives with 1gigabyte RAM Test File= polyphony 100+ Bill Busch Piano Shootout midi..... with 2Gigapulse Resonance fx and NFX3 EQ running ....

  Our intention in offering such a large sample piano is to prevent the "instantly obsolete" syndrome and allow the User to enjoy this instrument for a long time.
