Giglad is an application and a plug-in host itself. We are investigating the possibility but at the moment if you wish to use it on your DAW you need to use glecho (See below)
Yes this is possible. There is a record button and a metronome placed at the toolbar of the style editor for exactly this purpose. You can read more in our documentation.
To achieve low latency, it is advised to use a decent sound card which supports ASIO in windows and Core Audio in MAC. Additionally you need to lower the buffer size from the giglad Settings-Audio. The smaller the buffer size, the lower the latency but more demanding in system resources. You need to find the balance where the latency is acceptable and your system can perform without glitches.
No, only Yamaha styles are supported at the moment but we are considering supporting them in a future version of giglad.
This only happens in MAC with M1, M2 processors and it looks like the only way to solve this is to pay the corresponding commission to Apple. We are certainly going to do so in the future but at the moment, our decision is not to proceed with this. If these popups are really annoying you, there is the following workaround: Instead of running giglad via the shortcut or by double clicking on the corresponding file, you should always start giglad using the command line. Open a terminal and type /Applications/giglad.app/Contents/MacOS/giglad which is the path of giglad. This way, after granting the required access once, you will not have to do it again. For your convenience, you may wish to create a script file which will run giglad this way by double clicking on it:
No, each activation key is bind on a machine and giglad can be activated on one machine only. If you wish to use the same activation key on a different machine you need to "move" the license by deactivating first on machine A and activate later on machine B. There is no limitation on the number of activations/deactications at the moment but this may change in the future. For a second license under the same email address, we offer a special discount: You may purchase a second PRO license in the price of the LITE one.
Yes upgrade is possible. The cost is the price difference between the LITE and the PRO at the time of the upgrade.
If you are planning to mainly use soundfonts then the LITE version is sufficient to play Yamaha styles. But if you wish to replace all the instruments of a Yamaha style with VSTs then you are limited by the "Up to 5 VST tracks per style".
To effectively use Kontakt with giglad, you must setup the memory pool in order to use one instance of the plug-in on multiple tracks. Learn how you can do this by reading the documentation.
