  • What does the "L" stand for in instrument names?

    For example I have names like "VC-8L_oV_sus" as opposed to "VC-8_oV_2s."

    Couldn't find an answer in the manual.

    L = looped instrument

    For the ensemble strings and brass sustains there are only looped versions, for the soloinstruments you have looped and unlooped versions,
    therefore you have a dedicated LOOPED categorie in the gigfile.

    For the ensembles the "L" is placed after the section size label:

    KB-6L, TR-3L

    for soloinstruments the "L" is placed after the instrument shortname:

    OB-L, TU-L
