  1. For what is worth, Gig Performer has a MIDI File Player that you can use for various use cases, ranging from playing MIDI files, automating patch changes through MIDI files, routing instruments to high quality VSTs, etc. There is also a feature to record all generated MIDI data in the Gig Performer Recorder. Creating splits is also straightforward; you can not only set each split to be one block, and you visually connect that block using virtual wires, but also do some other stuff such as isolating bass notes, MIDI merge, separating your sustain pedal, completely inverting the keyboard, visual routing the MIDI flow to different places (say, external hardware devices) and much more.
  2. Some ground loop/electrical noise recommendations: https://community.gigperformer.com/t/laptop-power-supply-electrical-noise/2577/5?u=npudar
  3. Take a look at this ~100 pages free guide: https://gigperformer.com/docs/ultimate-guide-to-optimize-windows-for-stage/index.html
  4. I hope Nikola Jokić and Denver make it to the playoffs.
  5. It's just that Steinberg dropped support for VST2. Steinberg is forcing new plugins to be available ONLY in VST3 format but of course there are huge numbers of VST2 plugins out there that are not going away.
  6. You can easily compare features of these, there are comparison charts on the Internet. I'd always buy the most features for the reasonable money (licensing plans).
  7. Although a DAW can be used for live performance, I recommend all gigging musicians to use an audio plugin host that is specialized for live performance. Why? The focus is live performance and addressing unique needs of live performers. Plus, there are many things to have in mind, e.g. integration with your FoH engineer, advanced MIDI manipulation, possible lights control, application stability and other.
  8. Gig Performer 4 is announced for June, 2021 --> https://gigperformer.com/gig-performer-4-available-june-2021.html It is equipped with undo and easy widget grouping this time Check out other features - Global rackspace, Scriptlets, and many more. .
  9. Provided that you also "want to connect to whatever keyboard/controller you rent locally", Gig Performer provides the Rig Manager, so you can easily switch to whatever MIDI controller you want/rent (e.g. during a sound check).
  10. Optimize your PC for the ultimate audio experience! Deskew Technologies (developer of Gig Performer) shares with you the best tips and tricks on how to make your Windows great platform for audio and the stage.

  11. Just to add some notes. The Plugin Alliance (PA) edition also includes predefined templates (keyboards, guitar, ...) with already created layouts, connected plugins and configured widgets. There are two PA editions: - PA Edition with MEGA subscription, which loads the PA plugins only. - PA FULL (unlocked) edition, which also supports other plugin manufacturers. PA MEGA Subscription bundle includes 110 plugins + Gig Performer, and as long you're a subscriber, you get new stuff and plugin updates. PA editions are always licensed Windows + Mac OSX. There are no separate licences for either platform.
  12. No, I'm using the Plugin Alliance bundle, NI Guitar Rig, S-Gear and free plugins when I design my (guitar-oriented) setup with Gig Performer. I've tested the PA bundle in terms of CPU usage and RAM on a 10 years' old laptop - it works perfectly. When I get the chance, I'll also test how Omnisphere behaves on my second laptop.
  13. Apple is switching to ARM platform, yes, hiccups are to be expected. I wouldn't recommend it until things go stable (for live gigs or music production). Windows based laptop is a great solution if you want to go cheap. Gig Performer use ridiculously low CPU, so it may be a good combination even with old laptops (Ableton Link is supported, also a full OSC implementation). I'm a Windows user, running a budget configuration, but it all works fine - I have all I need. Regards, GuitarMage
