The activation for Gigastudio 4 is different to previous versions in 
that it's completely offline. There is no license server and the 
applications depend entirely on the presence of an eLicenser with a 
valid license to launch. The problem I was having is that the old 
version of the eLicenser software included with Gigastudio 4 can't read 
my eLicenser anymore. The latest version of the eLicenser software from 
Steinberg can read my eLicenser but Gigastudio 4 doesn't seem to be able 
to use this software, probably due to changes to the interfaces of DLLs 
etc. since 2008.

The good news is that I put on my grey hat yesterday evening and now 
have GSEdit4 running in a VM. As a result I was able to check what the 
maximum Sample Start Offset is - it's still 2000, it hasn't changed. 
This can be verified at the bottom of page 166 in the GSEdit4 User 
Manual available here 
https://tascam.com/us/product/gigastudio_4/download. I hope to get 
GStudio4 running soon in a similar way.

Yes, it looks like it could be a GSt3 bug.

Defaulting to no release trigger samples and giving users the option to 
change this sounds great. It could also be implemented as a scripting 
command so that users don't have to modify their gig files. Let me know 
if I can help with making the changes and many thanks for your time 
spent on this.
