74 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
e nal thing we will do to the cymbals is enable the “Self Masking” articulation parameter to save
polyphony. With Self Masking enabled, playing louder velocities will shut o any sustaining soer
velocities on the same region that are still decaying.
For example, these cymbals have several seconds of decay. If you play a so note, the sample will play to
the end of the decay no matter what. You could trigger a louder note while the so sample is still decaying
and drown out the so sample. However, even though you can’t hear the so sample any longer, it would
still be using up polyphony until it is nished decaying. With Self Masking enabled, the louder note will cut
o the soer note.
8. Before enabling Self Masking, trigger one of the cymbals several times from so to loud. Watch the
polyphony meter (on the status bar at the bottom of the Editor) and notice how much polyphony it
uses.
9. Select all four of the cymbal regions.
10. Select all the velocity splits. Now when we edit a parameter,
the new value will be applied to all of the splits in all of the
regions.
