TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 11
Banks
A GigaStudio file can contain up to 128
instruments, each assigned to a bank. By default,
all instruments are assigned to bank 0, but banks
can be numbered from 0 to 16383.
Bank numbers are used when GigaStudio responds
to MIDI bank select messages.
Banks also help to organize instruments within the Instrument Editor. They give you a folder structure to
work with when you have a large number of instruments to deal with inside the same .gig file.
Banks are the top level of the Giga heirarchy.
Instruments
e next level is the instrument. Gig les can have
many instruments inside them and these
instruments can share common samples without
using any extra hard drive space or sample buering
RAM. Each instrument has a discrete bank and
patch change number.
Regions
An instrument can contain up to 128 regions, each
spanning a single key or a range of contiguous keys.
e gray spaces seen here are “empty” notes with no
regions assigned to them. e purple region
represents the range of the Keyswitch dimension.
