libgig is a C++ library for loading, modifying existing and creating new |
| 12 |
schoenebeck |
2822 |
Gigasampler (.gig) files and DLS (Downloadable Sounds) Level 1/2 files, KORG sample |
| 13 |
|
|
based instruments (.KSF and .KMP files), SoundFont v2 (.sf2) files and AKAI sampler data. |
| 14 |
|
|
The source code package includes a couple of command line tools based on the |
| 15 |
schoenebeck |
1405 |
library. The library and tools are released in source code format under the |
| 16 |

except the AKAI classes which are released under the |

This library is developed and optimized for POSIX compliant operating |
| 22 |
|
|
systems like Linux and OSX and since release 3.1.1 for Windows as well. |
| 23 |
|
|
libgig was developed to compile on any operating system, though since |
| 24 |
|
|
release 3.0.0 libgig uses one tiny operating system dependant method to |
| 25 |
|
|
be able to resize files. Should be a 5 minute job to implement this method |
| 26 |
|
|
for other operating systems as well though. |
