These functions are not available under Windows NT 4.0, 2000 and XP (as
GigaSampler-/Studio did not fully support these operating systems when this
manual was created). The settings will not be available in that case.
Multiclient support is available for MME drivers (e.g. usually used by WaveLab,
Sound Forge, Cool Edit, Cakewalk, ...), the ASIO driver (e.g. used by Logic,
Cubase VST, Reaktor, ...) and the GSIF driver (used by GigaSampler and
GigaStudio). This even allows you to use GSIF software that was designed to run
separately on a system without other software parallel to other audio programs.
The example on the picture (previous page) shows a setup where the output
channels 1~4 and the S/PDIF output channels are assigned to the ASIO driver.
Channels 5~8 are assigned to GSIF. This setup is done
before
you start
GigaSampler/-Studio and your ASIO application. It is not possible to change
DeviceMixing
setttings after you have launched your audio application(s).
The last column of the section displays the resulting channel numbers. In this
example, the S/PDIF output channel (which is usually 9,10) has been assigned to
channel 5,6 of the ASIO driver. Also, the channels 5~8 are assigned to channels
1~4 of the GSIF driver. This assignment is needed, because the DSP24 driver
simulates a normal audiocard interface in the different driver models for the
applications. This prevents compatibility issues with certain audio applications.
It is not recommended to change this setup often, as the different applications will
also save the channel assignments internally. If you change the settings in the
DeviceMixing
section, it is wise to double-check the soundcard setup inside the
audio apps you are using after that. These options have been invented because of
the demand from the users to be able to use GigaSampler/Studio simultanously to
famous Audio-/MIDI-Sequencer software. We strongly recommend to use at least
v1.64 of GigaSampler or v2.2 of GigaStudio in order to use the multiclient support.
The performance may not be as good when using earlier versions of the software.
GigaStudio 2.2 and above will give you best performance.
