The options here are:

Convert wave pool format to:

Selects the target format for the conversion.

24-bit, integer. Uncompressed 24 bit samples. This format will of course get less polyphony than 16 bit samples.

24-bit, min. accelerated (preserve 24 bits). Disk acceleration compression with no loss of quality. This improves the polyphony and reduces the file size significantly. The polyphony is similar to uncompressed 16 bit samples with no loss of quality.

24-bit, nom. accelerated (preserve 20+ bits). More disk acceleration compression with 20-bit quality. This offers even more polyphony with a very slight quality loss.

24-bit, max. accelerated (preserve 18+ bits). More disk acceleration compression with 18-bit quality. This offers even more polyphony with a very slight quality loss.

16-bit, integer. Standard uncompressed 16 bit samples.

16-bit, accelerated (preserve 16 bits). Disk acceleration compression with no loss of quality. This improves the polyphony and reduces the file size significantly.

HD1 dither (adds 1.5 bits eff. resolution)

In most cases, this box should be checked when you are converting from 24 bit to 16 bit samples. In the rare case that dither noise has been added to 24 bit samples before importing them into the GigaStudio, you can uncheck this box.
