MuseWire NEWS: Soundlib this past week announced a new version of their G-Player sample instrument, originally designed to enable playback of Gigastudio samples and instruments on Mac OS and Windows. The new version is a free upgrade for registered users.

New features include: New stack editor with independent VCA and VCF control, new Audio Mixer with Compressor, Equalizer and external effects, and more.

G-Player 2 is a native Gigastudio file player designed to play the large banks that require disk streaming. G-Player allows you to quickly modify some program parameters (ADSR, VCA, VCF…) without having to edit and save the giga file.

G-Player can play layered instruments with up to 8 layers of crossfade. Each layer’s crossfade is defined by 4 points which precisely determine the fade in and fade out segments. This feature is used by the most prestigious Gigastudio™ sound libraries and is natively supported by G-Player.

G-Player is available on Mac (stand-alone, AU, VST and RTAS) and Windows XP, Vista and 7.
