384 voices is all about the strange meter in gigastudio....

I started at 400 and worked my way back to 384...........the ppq of all of my hardware sequencers.

I am a little supersticious, afterall, when a hardware sequencer works for 24 years w/o a single crash on or off stage, you tend to get a little tingly allover, and try to preserve it's memory somewhere in other endeavors.

Just think of the MIDI Limitation # and multiply it by 3.

Scope4live,

You probably are familiar with this but I'll mention it just incase you are not.
A good piano for the STS is the "Holy Grail" by Q up Arts.

Nice and light .

I was familiar, but forgot that little beauty.

I quickly became overcome by Gigasampler back in '99, and soon forgot about the 128MB Piano. Thanks for the reminder.

I am looking right now at deleting several layers of a great sounding upright from Vinataudio called the Clinton. I have a Steinway Chickering Upright also, but the Clinton is so natural sounding. It's perfect for what I want, and it also has the embedded pedal down harmonics that really makes any Acoustic Piano quite realistic w/o using reverb to bathe it in. But the pedal up ( unused ) needs a splash of the 91 on it, or even the nice sounding Plate from hifiboom. It's quality is nice, especially when sparsely used. He must have created it with percussion samples as it has a very controllable high end.

I am so lame on computers but from creating samples for years, trading, and editing, I am right at home w/ this stuff. I doubt I could even see a small LCD anymore.

Thanks 4 The Tip. I remember that that piano was the talk of the town for hardware samplers, especially my beloved old Emu's, R.I.P.

You can load 730 mb in STs, so from 128mb to 730 you have a good margin to create a more than decent jamming piano.
If you want to use the release samples I think would need to convert the note off messages to note on, and send to STS in a diferent channel then the other samples.
I´m not sure if exist other way to do that.
You can experiment with more o less velocity layers and extra pedal/release layers, seems a good exercise to find out how much of that big size libraries you really need.

Brotha' Man Laguoesente,

Gigastudio 4 will arrive before months end.

Once that's arrived and eLicensed, I shall contact you on these matters.

I am sure we can do business together.

I think you might like the Upright sample sound. No phony chorus muddying up thr sound, just a front and center natural Honky Tonk.

Sure!

Returning to the original tittle of this Topic, it seems that the memory limit is what makes STS stay behind GIGA.
As you have told Scopelive, the realism of the big libraries is something that most people don´t want to loose.
And so my question for the coders, thinking on an update of STS series just removing the memory limit problem is so much work for? Would need a "pay back" reason?
I mean, I understand the point of Stardust, a new STS6000 with a lot of new features would need a lot of work. I have no idea of programming, so I just have to ask at the posiblity of removing the "memory limit".
That would come close STS to it´s competitors regarding to the users who already are in this platform.
Just my thoughts.
