Need help making Gigastudio microtonal-friendly

Gigastudio has an incredible sound sample library, and the new
Version 3 may become microntonal-friendly! Currently, retuning the
samples microtonally is extremely time consuming (300,000 manual
operations to retune a single string library, for example). They're
working on version 3 now, and I've asked them to make it possible to
create templates into which exisiting sound libraries can just be
poured into automatically for retuning.
Please, if this possibility interests you, e-mail custser3@tascam.com
very soon and tell them that you work with [ethnic, music,
microtonal] music and are considering buying Gigastudio but want to
know if it is easy to retune samples automatically from their sound
libraries! If they add this feature, I honestly believe this will be
an incredibly rich source of musical inspiration for microntonalists
of all stripes.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Chris Mohr

And the rest. Chris, thanks for forwarding on this information. This particular list has the most number of people, so you are hitting a wide target audience. However, there is a sub-group:

/makemicromusic/

that consists of some of our members, as well as others. The focus is on the nuts-and-bolts of producing microtonal music, and just within the last couple of weeks there have been a number of posts regarding new microtonal support in some other soft synth/samplers. I know they'd be interested (I've been in the market for a sampler) and you might find additional support.

And if you'd just like me to forward this, I'd be happy to...

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks Jon,
I will take you up on your offer to forward my e-mail
to the micro subgroup, and I will look them up as
well. Thanks for your offer to spread the word!

No problem, Chris. Stop in and see if anyone answers. Also, you should do an archive search in that group on samplers, because a couple of times this has come up in the past with both hard- and software samplers, and you might find some answers there. Also, there have been a few people actively involved in contacting manufacturers of software on microtuning support, check that out.

And if all else fails, I have a guy no longer on-list that I can ask if it doesn't clear up - he's my "ace in the hole"!

Cheers,
Jon
