How I can load GigaStudio without loading SFP?

I don't use SFP to much because I don't have to much RAM (256 only) so I always close the SFP icon but the problem is that I had to load gsif and connect it in InL6 InR6 (in the wiring screen SFP) so How I can load GSIF with the same configuration that I did in that project?

read about the 'background project' in your manual. I think it can help you out.

Hello there!

I advise you to buy lots of RAM! Especially if you are using software samplers (like GigaStudio). I have 1GB of RAM and I use GigaStudio too. I route its 32 channels into SFP and mix them with the STM mixers and with the CW effects (avoiding the shity Nemesys effects).
Anyway, you have to add GSIF modules in your XTCProject.pro, routed somehow to the analog output, so that you can use Giga without SFP
Hope that helps!

welcome enb141,

don't overestimate the memory requirements of the SFP surface. Compared to Giga that's really lightweight. Anyway, you can't get rid of the SFP environement, it's required to coordinate the system.
256 MB only looks small today because Ram is incredibly cheap. I can vaguely remember a time when you could buy a comfortable house for what you had to pay for that memory

Follow the advice of rodos, buy as much as you can afford, but choose a quality brand, it's worth the small extra amount.

cheers, Tom

Thanks astroman I'll buy more RAM but not yet because I will buy a whole new computer.

rodos1979 I edited XTCProject.pro routing GSIF Source to STM1632 in L6 R6 but I still can't get to work gigastudio without loading first SFP

hubird, I found the file BackgroundProject.pep but I don't know how to access it do you know how I can edit it?

Tell me what kind of routing would you like and I will make an XTCProject for you. R u planning to feed the output of Giga into ASIO (for recording with SX)? Or you simply want just to be able to listen to the output of Giga. Furthermore, how many busses (outputs) do you want to have in Giga?

In Pulsar3 system you could configurate and define a socalled background project.
You then had to put a Pulsar link in your automatic start up folder to have that background project active.
You could define the project in Settings/Projects.

I used this funktion just a short time then.
Now, in SFP, I can't find it anymore, or it should be the Settings 'Start project'.
Try playing around with it, however I'm sure you must have SFP or Pulsar active to have it doing something, at least in the background.
Hope you'll get out.

rodos1979 thanks I wish to route to cubase SX and 6 outputs (3 stereo) will be ok. Thanks for your help

hubird, I did it but when I close SFP as always be I couldn't get gigastudio to work

I realy think you must accept you can't close SFP while you wanne let it work.
Starting SFP starts programming the sharc's, before that there is nothing, that's the way DSP is (in fact this way the sharc's are used most economicly .

The background option is just to make things easy for just routing jobs: 1. start the computer --> 2. SFP starts automaticly the background with the wished connections (without occupying screen space) 3. start your favourite softwares, communicating invisibly via SFP.

Hope I didn't say stupid things, I'm not that good in all this

You will find your XTC Project here

Hope this helps!
