"I know I'm late to the party, but I finally decided to install GIGA Sampler! GIGA Studio 3 may come to Japan soon, but I can't wait! I just want a better orchestral sound, but it's hard. I'll do my best! I only have a Mac at my house, though, so I need to learn Windows. I know it's reckless, but I thought it would be interesting to build my own PC. First, I took a look at the software and read the manual, and then ordered it from a music shop I'm familiar with. GIGA Sampler 160 MOTU 828 Mark2 M-Audio MIDISPORT 4*4" ("GIGA Sampler 160" is probably just another name for GigaStudio 160, especially since Iwadare later mentions in the comment section that he's having problems with "GigaStudio".)
