TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 109
Temp directory. e directory where the Editor will save temporary les. For example, if you
make extensive edits to a .gig le and then issue the Save command, the le is rst assembled in
the temp directory and only then moved to its nal location. Samples exported for editing are also
written to this directory. If you leave this eld blank, the Editor will use the default Windows
temp folder.
Audio editor. To make changes to the audio of the samples, you need to use an external audio
editor. is setting will choose which audio editor to launch when you use the Edit audio
command on a sample.
Middle C is. Sets the method of numbering octaves everywhere in the editor. By default, middle
C (MIDI note 60) is referred to as C4. You can change this to make the editor's numbering agree
with your other MIDI soware or hardware.
Note that the octave numbering in eect may also eect the "Guess from lename" option when
importing samples (see below).
Velocity splits for manually created regions. Denes the initial structure of regions that you
create manually by right-clicking in the keyboard display and selecting “Create region”.
Unity note for imported .wav les. Tells the Editor how to set the unity note for imported
samples, when no unity note is dened in the .wav le itself. You can choose to simply default
such samples to middle C, or you can tell the editor to look for the unity note in the le name,
expressed as either a MIDI note number (“Piano 61.wav”) or as a note name (“Piano
C#4.wav”).
e import procedure is fairly clever about interpreting le names, but to avoid confusion you
should set the pitch value o by spaces (“Piano G5” not “PianoG5”). When using pitch names
with accidentals, note that only sharps are recognized (“Piano G#5” not “Piano Ab5”). Also note
that the interpretation of pitch names is inuenced by the octave number selected for middle C
(see above).
Some wave editors insert a default unity note which may not be correct. If you want the pitch
expressed in the le name to override any setting inside the le, check Use the lename even if the
.wav le contains a dierent unity note.
