110 TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual
Wave drop. e single option in this category controls what happens when you drop two or more
samples at once into a dimension window with the right mouse button, and then choose Stack on
single region as the mapping option from the popup menu. As an example, if you right-dro p a
folder with ten samples into the velocity window and choose this method, the velocity dimension
will be set to ten splits, mapped to the ten samples you dropped. e Preferences option controls
the order in which t he samples wi ll be mapped, a nd is useful w hen the name o f the samples
contains some info rmation about ho w they should be placed withi n the dimension . For example,
suppose your velocity samples are named with an indication of th eir relative amplitude:
Cowbell 0 dB
Cowbell –2 dB
Cowbell –4 dB
Etc.
In this case the “reverse numeric” option would cause the loudest sample to be mapped to the
highest velocity split.
Warn if reload requires save. When you press the “Load” button to load the .gig le into the
sampler, the Editor issues a warni ng message if the le has been modied in a way that requires it
rst be saved to disk. Clear t his checkbox to suppress th e warning.
Warn if reload requires FULL save. If yo u check this box but not the previous one, warnings will
be issued only when the le has b een modied so extensiv ely that a time-consuming rewrite o f the
entire le is n ecessary.
Warn about unmapped regions on save . When this box is checked, th e editor will issue a
warning if you attempt to save a le in which any regions are unmapped (i.e. mapped to the null
sample). Unmapped regions are perfectly legal, so unchec k this box if you are using them for
some deliberate purpose.
Use internal names on WAV import. Tells th e Editor to take the names of imported samples
from information inside the .wa v le, rather than from th e .wav le’s name. If no internal name is
present, the le name will be used anyway.
Retune regions when dragging. Controls whether your samples will be automatically transposed
when you drag regions up and down the keyboard. If checked, regions will be retuned when you
move them to preserve their orig inal sound.
Update region properties aer wave edit. Controls what ha ppens when you edit a sam ple in an
audio editor (by choosing the Edit audio option on t he right-click m enu). If you mod ify the le’s
loop points or tuning and this box is checked, the new information will be copi ed into every region
that is currently mapped to that sample. If the box is unch ecked, existing regions will n ot be
modied, though the new info rmation will still be attached to the sample itself for us e in future
mappings.
Update region properties aer sample replace. Controls what ha ppens when you u se the Replace
sample feature. If the box is checked, loop points and tuning information from the replacement
sample will be applied to every regio n that is mapped to that sam ple. If the box is unchecked ,
existing regions will not be modied, though the new information will still be attached to the
sample itself for use in future m appings.
Share recent le list with GigaStudio. is refers to the "Recent" list in the File Open dialog,
which lets you jump quickly to a rec ently used directory. GigaStudio has a similar feature in its
Load menu (on the MIDI chann el strips). When this box i s checked, opening a le in GigaStudio
