The final Gigastudio 4 and GVI 3.5 both rely on Syncrosoft dongles for protection (as used, for instance, by Steinberg's Cubase), which at least means that you shouldn't have any authorisation problems. Moreover, while the final version 4 of Gigastudio should run on powerful PCs containing four or more cores, it can only take advantage of two of them, which will undoubtedly cause frustration.
No fixes will now be written to cure any such problems that might occur in the future. For instance, both Hyperthreading and multi‑core processing issues took considerable time for the GS team to resolve in the past, while a few musicians gave up trying to get GS3 to run smoothly on certain PCs.

What may prove a problem in future is if you upgrade your PC to one that has hardware components that the final versions of these two applications don't recognise, or that prove incompatible with them. I've still got both installed on mine, and they continue to run as before. SOS contributor Martin Walker replies: First of all, there's no reason why you can't continue to use your Giga libraries for the foreseeable future within Gigastudio or the VSTi-compatible GVI (Giga Virtual Instrument) installed on your current PC.
Could I switch to another software sampler, and if I did, would my libraries sound the same? Over the last few years I've collected quite a few sample libraries in Giga format, but now that Tascam have discontinued development I'm worried I might not be able to use them in future.
