Hi! I'm not sure about the gigastudio3. I just thought I remembered that much. I only have a few gigasampler2 samples here. Convolution: You could simply say it's a very nice and realistic form of reverb. Some sample-libraries (especially classic instruments) include the reverb of their original concert hall. with "not as powerful" I meant not as powerful as instruments shipping as VST instruments or shipped with Kontakt player 2. As I've read it, they include a lot of features only reachable by the shipped UI. There's just some more "background logic" included. Whereas a "simple" sampling library, only including the recorded sound and mapping it to MIDI keys, just can produce played notes with no big differences or random variations or instantly and easily available alternative playing techniques. Say Strings: bowed, plucked, etc. tec. But don't get me wrong: I like my gigasamples and I'm fine with LinuxSampler, I just think it doesn't compare to the features of the quantum leap orchestra yet.
