110 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
Wave drop. e single option in this category controls what happens when you drop two or more
samples at once into a dimension window with the right mouse button, and then choose Stack on
single region as the mapping option from the popup menu. As an example, if you right-drop a
folder with ten samples into the velocity window and choose this method, the velocity dimension
will be set to ten splits, mapped to the ten samples you dropped. e Preferences option controls
the order in which the samples will be mapped, and is useful when the name of the samples
contains some information about how they should be placed within the dimension. For example,
suppose your velocity samples are named with an indication of their relative amplitude:
Cowbell 0 dB
Cowbell –2 dB
Cowbell –4 dB
Etc.
In this case the “reverse numeric” option would cause the loudest sample to be mapped to the
highest velocity split.
Warn if reload requires save. When you press the “Load” button to load the .gig le into the
sampler, the Editor issues a warning message if the le has been modied in a way that requires it
rst be saved to disk. Clear this checkbox to suppress the warning.
Warn if reload requires FULL save. If you check this box but not the previous one, warnings will
be issued only when the le has been modied so extensively that a time-consuming rewrite of the
entire le is necessary.
Warn about unmapped regions on save. When this box is checked, the editor will issue a
warning if you attempt to save a le in which any regions are unmapped (i.e. mapped to the null
sample). Unmapped regions are perfectly legal, so uncheck this box if you are using them for
some deliberate purpose.
Use internal names on WAV import. Tells the Editor to take the names of imported samples
from information inside the .wav le, rather than from the .wav le’s name. If no internal name is
present, the le name will be used anyway.
Retune regions when dragging. Controls whether your samples will be automatically transposed
when you drag regions up and down the keyboard. If checked, regions will be retuned when you
move them to preserve their original sound.
Update region properties aer wave edit. Controls what happens when you edit a sample in an
audio editor (by choosing the Edit audio option on the right-click menu). If you modify the le’s
loop points or tuning and this box is checked, the new information will be copied into every region
that is currently mapped to that sample. If the box is unchecked, existing regions will not be
modied, though the new information will still be attached to the sample itself for use in future
mappings.
Update region properties aer sample replace. Controls what happens when you use the Replace
sample feature. If the box is checked, loop points and tuning information from the replacement
sample will be applied to every region that is mapped to that sample. If the box is unchecked,
existing regions will not be modied, though the new information will still be attached to the
sample itself for use in future mappings.
Share recent le list with GigaStudio. is refers to the "Recent" list in the File Open dialog,
which lets you jump quickly to a recently used directory. GigaStudio has a similar feature in its
Load menu (on the MIDI channel strips). When this box is checked, opening a le in GigaStudio
