TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 209
e transitional and secondary release will trigger exactly the same way as dened in the normal mode. If
the sound developer does not wish to have a secondary release or transitional sound, then the instrument
layout must leave these dimension splits mapped to a null sample (also referred to as ‘unmapped’).
One unique feature of the ‘Target Tracking mode’ is the ‘return to root’ capability. is allows users to
perform real-time Hammer-On/O trills. When performing real-time trills where the "Root" note is
sustained while a secondary note is toggled, the rule logic comprehends the interval direction and res o
the proper "Target" sustain sample when returning to root.
For example, a trill from C4 to F4 would behave in the following manner (omitting the release and
transition samples):
C4 - primary sustain
F4 - "Target Up" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustain
F4 - "Target Up" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustain
F4 - "Target Up" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustain........
When ‘returning to root’ the Target sustain (as well as the transitional sample and the secondary release)
will inherit the velocity of the note that is being released.
