Tascam 4 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
194 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
is rule was created to enhance sample libraries that rely on the real ambience of the room or hall they
were recorded in for a lush and authentic reverb tail. By putting the release of the recordings on the release
trigger, the results are stunning. However, there is a problem with this method. Sometimes the samples
are expressive and use diminuendos and crescendos or simply fade out. The problem occurs when a note is
released while the sample has died out or is at a low point in its volume: if the release sample plays back at
its default volume, a sudden unnatural increase in volume is heard. This rule solves that problem by
constantly tracking the signal level of each sample and setting the volume of the release trigger samples
accordingly.
The configuration dialog for this rule is shown below. The sample’s voice parameters, such as the
amplitude envelope, are always included in the tracking calculation. Optionally, the sample’s signal level
can also be tracked.
The Rule Builder
e Rule Builder is a special iMIDI rule that allows you to perform complex transformations of MIDI data.
It can take any incoming MIDI event at any range, and have it trigger any other kind of MIDI event with its
own range of settings. It’s the equivalent of having a built-in high end MIDI processor. e Rule Builder
enables library developers to create custom MIDI responses and lters for their instruments.
e Rule Builder dialog is shown below.
