Giga articulation files are pretty much just the .gig file without the 
samples. I think they can contain samples but I haven't seen any with them. 
Whatever the case, you need the original .gig files for them to work.

Most companies use it as a handy way to add updates to their usually huge 
.gig files in an easy downloadable way. It's not perfect - there is a 
third-party articulation variant and program at Best Service - check it out.

Maybe one of the third-party convertor companies will do that and the other 
things you mention.
