126 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
is is a good option if you have made audio changes to your samples outside GigaStudio aer
having mapped out the instrument.
Instead of having to rebuild the whole instrument, you can batch replace the samples from here.
A common use for this feature is to replace the original samples with noise reduced versions or to
replace 16 bit samples with 24 bit versions.
For this to work properly, it is important that the le names of the new samples match the le
names of the original samples as they appear in the Editor.
Replace all samples in all folders
(Note that when a folder is selected, this command changes to “Replace all samples in folder”, above.)
Use this command to perform a wholesale replacement of samples throughout the current .gig le. You'll
be asked to specify a root directory to be searched for replacement samples. e replacement works by
attempting to match each sample's name (as seen in the sample list) to the name of a le under the root
directory. ere are two modes of operation:
1. Match samples by name to .wav/.dxl les anywhere under the root directory. In this mode, a
sample will be replaced if a matching le can be found anywhere in the root directory or in any of its
subdirectories.
2. Match only if the subdirectory name also matches the wave pool folder. is mode is useful when
the sample les are arranged into subdirectories which mirror the folders in your .gig le. e samples
in a folder named "Piano" will be replaced only by les found in a \Piano subdirectory of the root
directory.
Samples for which no matching le can be found are le unchanged.
When searching for a replacement for an accelerated sample, the Editor looks for les with the extension
.dxl (Giga accelerated sample les) and if no match occurs, the search is repeated with the extension .wav.
Conversely, non-accelerated samples will be replaced by .dxl les, if the .dxl le exists and no matching .wav
exists.
Export sample(s)
is command will export the selected samples (or the samples in the currently selected folder) to the hard
drive as standard .wav les.
Export as folder (folder only)
In this case, the whole folder will be exported to the hard drive as a folder of wave les. e folder on disk
will have the same name as the folder in the Editor.
Export all sample folders
is command will export all the sample folders in the .gig le to the specied root directory as wave les.
Subdirectories are created as necessary and the samples are organized on disk as they are in the .gig le.
