Step 1
Convert the .gig file
Open GigConverter in Safari or Chrome, choose the .gig file, select WAV output, confirm you own or are licensed to convert it, then download the ZIP.
iOS read version
Use converted .gig samples in Cubasis.
This is the phone-friendly version of the tutorial. GigConverter does the conversion in the browser; Cubasis should use the extracted WAV files, not the original .gig file.
Best mobile path
Convert .gig to ZIP, unzip in Files, then import the WAV samples into Cubasis. The SFZ is a bridge file for compatible samplers, not the main iOS workflow.
Step 2
Save and unzip in Files
Save the ZIP to Files. Tap the ZIP once to expand it. Open the samples folder and confirm you see .wav files.
Step 3
Import the WAV files into Cubasis
In Cubasis, use MediaBay or the iOS Files import/share flow to bring the WAV files into the project. Treat the WAV files as the reliable mobile path.
Step 4
Play or arrange the samples
Use the imported audio directly, or load individual WAV files into the Cubasis sampler workflow available in your version.
Quick checklist
- Use WAV for Cubasis first. AIFF is useful elsewhere, but WAV is the safer iOS target.
- Keep the extracted ZIP folder in Files so Cubasis can access the sample files again later.
- The SFZ file is included for SFZ-compatible samplers, but Cubasis should not be treated as a native SFZ host.
- Do not expect Cubasis to import .gig directly. Convert to WAV first.
- Only convert sample libraries you own or are licensed to convert.
What this does not promise
This does not make Cubasis a native GigaStudio instrument host. The converter extracts playable WAV files and writes a draft SFZ map when possible. Original velocity layers, region maps, loops, and vendor-specific programming may need manual cleanup depending on the library.
