Chapter 11: Intelligent MIDI (iMIDI) Rules
iMIDI rules are bits of extra logic which can be added to a Giga instrument. ey range from the simple to
the very complex. For example, when the Transposition Rule is added to an instrument it simply
transposes every note seen by that instrument by a given number of semitones. Other rules work in
conjunction with specially dened dimensions to realize sampled legato eects, to trigger rapidly-patterned
articulation changes, and so forth. e available iMIDI rules are listed later in this chapter.
iMIDI Rules are added, edited, or deleted via the iMIDI Rule Manager in one of two ways:
In GigaStudio, a rule can be added to an instrument and then saved together with the instrument
as part of a performance le. e rule will be loaded with the instrument whenever the
performance is loaded.
In the Instrument Editor, a rule added to an instrument will be saved with that instrument in the
.gig le. e rule is then applied to the instrument whenever the instrument is loaded.
