Hear the Paradigm Shift

The revolutionary Endless Wave technology soars to a higher level with GigaSampler^TM, and digital music production wilt never be the same. Current conventional solutions are limited to sound sets stored in avail- able RAM or ROM — usually only a few megabytes. But GigaSampler can play back stereo sound sets directly from hard disk with instrument layering and Behavioral Sampling, providing gigabytes of sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before.

Use the Power of Your PC

Today’s increased computing and storage capabilities allow GigaSampler’s software to utilize the inexpensive, high-perfor- mance hardware that already exists in today’s PCs. So the required instruments are read from a huge sample library from the hard disk, CD-ROM or DVD disc, and your high-performance PC becomes the

Pro-Sampling Editing Tool

The PC makes a perfect editing tool for creating your own sample libraries using GigaSampler, or .WAV formats.

What Does GigaSampler Mean to Digital sampling?

Traditional Samplers use techniques such as looping (repeating a single cycle or more), enveloping (volume contours), vol- ume scaling (adjust loudness to match musical expression), and pitch shifting (mapping one recording sample over multi- ple notes). Development trade-offs have to be made including sample rate, sample length, sample reusability, volume levels and pitch range per sample. These trade- offs reduce the realism of the sample library.

GigaSampler does not require looping, because there’s no need to conserve space. Natural decay allows notes to fade away to silence on their own. There’s no pitch shifting so notes are the real thing. Precision pitch interpolation, multi-mode resonant filtering, and looping are all still

Conventional Samplers

available for maximum creativity and com- patibility. The velocity layers provide differ- ent material for soft, medium and loud.

Behavioral Sampling provides multiple sam- ples per note. Samples are in stereo, so rich environment cues sound clear. Instruments can also be combined into ensembles for layered solo-instruments of unparalleled quality.

Sound Libraries

GigaSampler is distributed by EASTWEST,

GigaSampler

one of the world’s leading professional Sound Developers. EASTWEST has already developed many GigaSound^TM libraries for GigaSampler including sampled Steinway, Bosendorfer, and Fazioli Pianos. Every note of these Pianos was sampled, presented unlooped, with up to eight stereo veloci- ties per note. The largest is a 2.2 Gigabyte instrument - the world’s largest Sample Library. In addition to the super high quali- ty libraries developed by EASTWEST, Giga- Sampler also reads hundreds of Akai format CD-ROMS from your PC CD-ROM drive.
