DRAG-AND-DROP LOADING OF INSTRUMENTS
You can also load an instrument by dragging a GIG or GSI file directly from
Windows Explorer into a MIDI channel. By default, when you drop a file onto
a MIDI channel that already contains a loaded instrument, the currently
loaded instrument is detached and replaced by the new instrument. In or-
der to stack files on a MIDI channel, hold down the CTRL key while dragging
and dropping.
LOADING FROM THE INSTRUMENT VIEWER
Once an instrument is loaded into GVI, it remains loaded in memory (RAM)
whether it is attached to a MIDI channel or not. This makes it possible to
attach/detach loaded instruments quickly using MIDI program changes.
To view all instruments currently loaded into memory, click on
the’Instrument Viewer’ icon located under the GIGA logo on the menu bar.
This will launch the “Currently Loaded Instruments” display. You can drag
instruments directly from this display into the desired MIDI channel slot
field (hold down CTRL while dragging to stack an instrument).
You can also unload instruments from within the Instrument Viewer by
right-mouse clicking on an instrument and selecting one of the following
popup menu items:
· unload:
unloads the single selected instrument
· unload all:
unloads all loaded instruments
· unload unused:
unloads all instruments that are not currently
attached to a channel
