GPlayer and DP6
Hi all. I've been using GigaStudio on a PC, like a big sound module. Last week the Motherboard in this computer bit the big one, and I've been scrambling for a workaround. Then I stumbled on GPlayer by Soundlib.com. Basically it plays Giga samples as a VI in DP, no conversion needed. Problem SOLVED!....err, not quite. GPlayer plays MOST Giga files flawlessly, but if I try to load, for instance a large piano lib I hit a snag. In Giga, big multi gig libs are loaded across 3-4 midiports, and then linked together. Gplayer does this as well, in fact running in standalone mode it plays 3+ gig libs just fine. when I try to do the same thing in DP it won't load all the velocity layers. This leads me to believe that this is a DP issue w/Gplayer. The guy at Soundlib gave me a couple of things to try but no dice. My question is: does anyone here use this software w/DP and have it working well on large sample libs? I don't think it's a memory issue, I've got 6gigs of ram in my Mac Pro. Thx!! in advance for any and all help!
Re: GPlayer and DP6
Something else I'm wondering about. I'm loading in the Giga samples off the original disks. Most show a typical blue folder in them w/the samples when opened. But some only show a .exe file. Clicking on this pretty much sends my Mac into a seizure. Is there any way to get to the samples on these disks?
