40 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
Smart MIDI processor. is special dimension is used in conjunction with Intelligent MIDI (iMIDI) rules
such as the Pattern Alternator, Repetition Mode, and Legato Mode. Logic in the iMIDI rule will determine
which split plays at any given time. iMIDI rules are explained in a later chapter.
Stereo. Stereo isn’t a dimension in the usual sense, but we mention it here because the le and right sides
of a stereo sample each have their own articulations (performance data such as envelopes and lters). In
this sense, the le and right channels resemble the “splits” in a normal dimension. Stereo also “uses up”
one of the eight available Giga dimensions: a stereo region can have a maximum of seven ordinary
dimensions.
Working with dimensions
e best way to learn about dimensions is to start working with them.
• e next few lessons will start with a simple velocity split and work up to a more advanced multi-
dimensional layout of a region.
• For now, we are going to be working with a single note to get to know the concept of working with
dimensions (E-2 of an Orchestral Bass Ensemble from the Vienna Symphonic Library).
• Everything will be done with the manual drag-and-drop method so you can see and experience
directly what these dimensions do. Once you understand what they do, you will then be better
prepared to work with the Instrument Wizard.
• e Instrument Wizard does everything described in these lessons but does it automatically across
many regions in a split second. As you will see, it would be a bit tedious to map an entire
instrument with this manual method. However, this is the best way to learn about the structure of
a region. In the Instrument Wizard chapter, we will recreate some of these examples with the
Instrument Wizard using several notes.
• e manual method is still the best method for creating certain instruments that don’t benet
from the Instrument Wizard, like some drum kits.
• You need to have the GigaStudio soware installed and have your audio and MIDI connections
working. Open the Instrument Editor and create a new blank instrument.
Creating the velocity split
First we will take a region and add some velocity splits to it.
1. Create a region and put it on E2.
