Gig Performer 5.x User Manual

Here is a short list of other notable enhancements. For the complete list of changes, please refer to our Release Notes page.

The Global Rackspace button is now on the main panel, making it easier to access from any view (previously it was located above the rackspace area).

The MIDI activity indicators in the main Gig Performer window are now a bit brighter.

The Plugin Manager now includes the Widget Refresh column that allows you to explicitly refresh mapped widgets after loading a GP User Preset (rarely needed, for plugins that don't notify a host for their parameter changes).

The categories for the internal plugins menu groups are now alphabetical.

There is now a menu option to clear the recent files list.

The Song script and Gig script editor positions are now properly remembered and restored.

It is no longer necessary to hold the Shift key down to copy widgets from global rackspace to local rackspace. If the global widgets have parameters defined, they will be automatically configured.

MIDI In blocks no longer send out Note Off information when changing variations if the transpose value hasn't changed.

A simple Decent Sampler template is now included with the installer – it is in Documents/Gig Performer/Decent Sampler Templates on both platforms.

The Auto Sampler editor plugin now uses the correct name for the Decent Sampler preset.

The OSC subsystem now support /handle/LoadGPPreset so that you can load a GPUserPreset into any plugin via OSC.
