Most of the first tab is self explanatory and obvious. You just fill in any of the fields you see with text. There is even a Comments section to add even more detailed information about the instrument.

An important section to point out is the Keywords section.

This is where you can enter keywords that the QuickSound Database will recognize when doing complex searches for GigaStudio instruments. The search criteria can also be edited from the QuickSound Explorer and you can do batch keyword entry as well.

The second tab, "Extension files", is empty in the case of a standalone .gig file. For instruments that span multiple files, this tab lists the names of the additional files (usually with the extension .gx01, .gx02, etc.)

Preferences: [Alt] + [E] + [R]

This is where you setup the various preferences for the Editor. It’s a very important section to get to know.
