Chapter 1: About the GigaStudio 4.0 Instrument Editor
e GigaStudio Instrument Editor is a separate application that works with GigaStudio. e Editor allows
you to create your own instruments or edit existing Giga instruments.
You can run the Editor simultaneously with GigaStudio, but it’s not necessary. e Editor itself can load
instruments into memory, allowing you to hear your edits by playing an external MIDI controller or by
right-clicking the on-screen keyboard.
What’s New?
Giga Editor 4.0 includes the following changes from version 3.0:
1. e Dynamic Expression Filter, which in Giga 3 was accessible only through the use of a specially
formatted initialization le, is now exposed in the Editor as part of the normal parameter scheme.
Some of the DEF parameters are global to an instrument, and are found on a new tab in the
Instrument Properties dialog. e DEF coecients are part of the subregion articulation and are
edited with the usual tools (the parameter value list and the “blue ball” graph).
2. e control panel for the Mono Mode iMIDI rule has a new tab with a graphical editor for the
Portamento Reshaping Filter, which like the DEF was previously accessible only by editing an
initialization le.
