I bought a few pianos in December in Gigasampler3 format for the better bit-depth samples, not realising that not all the features of GS3 are currently supported in LS. They sound pretty damn good to my untutored ears, but I can't help feeling that I'm possibly missing out on their full potential and they could sound better. The manual certainly says that the .gsi file should be used for it to work properly -- LS doesn't recognise those and will only open the .gig files as far as I can tell. When listening very closely on headphones playing solo you can sort of hear that it's a sampled piano and not the real deal and I can't help feeling this would be lessened to some degree if the impulse response of the piano was being used. Ultimately, it would be nice if all the features were supported, but from what Julien says, it sounds like implementing convolution could be a quick win, if it's just a question of implementing an existing convolution engine into LS. I'm not a programmer, so I've no idea whether or not it really is that simple, but if it is that easy, it would be nice to see the feature added to what is already great software.
