TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 23
To use this feature, you must visit the Preferences dialog (Edit-Preferences on the main menu) and specify
either the note-number or note-name method. You will get the best results when the pitch indication is set
o by spaces, and when there are no numbers elsewhere in the sample name. For the note-name method,
only sharps (“#”) are recognized, not ats.
Creating a Region
e next step in creating an instrument is to create some regions. While there are many ways to create
regions, in this section we will do it manually. is is the least convenient way to create regions but it is
sometimes useful. For example, drum kits oen don’t lend themselves to the more streamlined ways of
creating regions, because each drum (snare, kick, hi hat, etc.) is eectively a dierent instrument and may
require a dierently structured region.
Creating a few regions manually will also help familiarize you with the concept of mapping samples, before
we introduce the more advanced ways of mapping like the Instrument Wizard.
To create our rst region we’ll use the Region Window, shown above. For a full discussion of this window’s
features, see page 130.
1. Place the mouse under the note where you want
to create a region, and right-click. In this example,
we’ll create a region on Middle C.
2. Choose New region from the menu.
