Thanks to the great reverse engineering work of Paul Kellett and Ruben van Royen I created this library. libgig is a C++ cross-platform loader library for Gigasampler files. The library consists of three parts: - RIFF classes for parsing arbitrary RIFF files - DLS classes which use the RIFF classes to parse and provide access to DLS level 1 and 2 files - gig classes which are based on the DLS classes and provide the necessary extensions for the Gigasampler file format So you can also use the library for loading DLS files or RIFF files in general, but the main focus is the Giga format, which you might get from the name of this lib ;) You can get the sources coming with tools / demo apps, API documentation, UML diagram and a short kick start docu at: http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~cschoene/projects/libgig/ I claim that this library provides all articulation data the Gig format contains. If you think I might miss some, let me know! The library should be compilable on all platforms. Nevertheless I don't own a non Intel system, so I can't test it; maybe it needs some minor adjustments but I took care about endian and word size correctness when I wrote the lib, so I'm quite confident it will work! Let me if you tried it on a non Intel system! Best regards Christian Schoenebeck
