TASCAM ANNOUNCES GIGASTUDIO 3 UPGRADE PRICING

Feb 18, 2004 12:00 PM, The Editors

Tascam has announced upgrade pricing for the new version of its software sampling workstation, GigaStudio 3. GigaStudio 3 comes in three versions: Orchestra, Ensemble and Solo. Customers who purchased GigaStudio 160 after Jan. 1, 2004, can upgrade to the flagship Orchestra version for only $50, which is less expensive than waiting for GigaStudio 3 Orchestra to ship.

"We're excited about releasing this new version of GigaStudio to our customers," says Pete Snell, sales and marketing manager for GigaStudio. "We wanted a price structure that made upgrading to GS3 an easy decision to make. The new polyphony performance, 96khz, 24-bit sample support, mixing power and GigaPulse technology are going to make a big impact on the way musicians work with samplers. And the current pricing of GigaStudio makes it less expensive to buy now and then upgrade than waiting for GigaStudio 3 to ship, making today the perfect time to get into GigaStudio."

GS2.5 160 > GS3 Orchestra, $50
GS2.5 96 > GS3 Orchestra, $225
