TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 199
Playzone
e playzone denes the musical keyboard region over which the rule will be applied. By default the
soware will initialize the playzone to be the entire valid region of your instrument.
Auto detect polyphonic mode
is feature enables the sampler to automatically switch between monophonic and polyphonic
playback depending on how the user is playing the instrument. Using the sensitivity setting, you can
adjust the timing threshold at which this feature will activate.
With this hybrid mono/poly mode enabled, note on messages that fall within the user dened timing
sensitivity (chordal playing) bypass the Mono Mode rule and play back with traditional polyphony
while note on messages that fall outside of the user dened timing sensitivity (melodic playing) will be
processed using the Mono Mode rule.
Override Mono rule on a NULL split
Basically, this will cause the logic to verify that the note you are sliding to has a NON-null
sample mapped to it. If it is determined that the target note and split is a NULL sample then
the mono rule is overriden and the note does not slide. Useful for stacking multiple
Portamento enabled instruments with overlapping ranges.
Mono Rule: Staccato mode
Overview
Staccato mode is the most simple of the three Mono Mode Rules. In this mode, following notes will force
previous notes to terminate. Use the “note-o delay” slider to determine how long to wait aer a new note-
on before sending a note-o message to the previous note. e release time of terminated samples is
determined by that regions EG1 release time.
Developer Requirements
ere are no specications for using the Staccato mode Mono Rule. It can be applied to any instrument,
regardless of dimension architecture.
Mono Rule: Legato Portamento mode (PRF)
Overview
In this mode, following notes will bend the currently playing note to the new “destination” note. e
characteristics of how the note slides are determined using both global and custom Mono Rule parameters.
ere are two basic Legato Portamento modes to choose from:
Default (Notes are transposed without ltering applied)
Custom (PRF - Portamento Reshaping Filter applied)
Controlling Portamento time
Both Default and Custom versions of the Legato Portamento Mode provide continuous control over
portamento time by virtue of MIDI Continuous Controller #5 (Portamento Time). In GigaStudio, any of
the three MIDI channel controllers can be assigned to Continuous Controller #5 (Portamento Time),
replacing the default Volume, Tune, or Pan control. It is also possible to control portamento time using an
external controller transmitting Continuous Controller #5 data.
