Creating a New File
To create a new, empty .gig le, choose File-New on the Editor’s main menu. (e rst button on the main
toolbar does the same thing.) An “empty” le will contain a single empty instrument, with no regions or
samples:
Importing Samples
Samples are imported from individual .wav les, in 16 or 24 bit integer, mono or stereo format. As you
import samples, they are added to the Sample Window in the lower le portion of the Editor.
Samples are organized into folders, preferably in a way that anticipates how they’ll be organized in the
instrument you are building. For example, if you’ve sampled a trumpet at three dierent dynamic levels
and two dierent attack styles, you might create six folders with names something like this:
Trumpet legato
Trumpet mf legato
Trumpet p legato
Trumpet staccato
Trumpet mf staccato
Trumpet p staccato
