OK, just because somebody else is going to say this, I might as well...

The .hip file scans the samples and the .gig file and makes some custom 
modifications to the sounds (this is a proprietary algorithm) that make it 
more applicable to boat gigs, lounge sessions, and most any pop song. Even 
the classical oriented pianos. Thus, the ".hip" extension.
