TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 147
Keyboard. Keyboard (also ca lled keyswitch) control allows changing from on e split to anoth er by striking
otherwise unused notes on the MIDI keyboard. is is o en used for orchestral i nstruments that have a
large number of articulations, when it would be dicult to switch accurately using a wheel or pedal type
controller. e area of the k eyboard used fo r switching is de ned in the I nstrument Properti es dialog.
Round Robin, Random. ese dim ensions switch samples automatically each time you p lay a note. Round
Robin progresses through the splits in order, while Random triggers the splits randomly.
Round Robin across keyboard. is variant of the Round Robin dimension advances to the next split
when a key is struck in any region. (e basic Round Robin dimension described above advances only
when a key is struck in its own r egion.) In the case where th e number of splits in this d imension varies
across the keyboard, the new rule uses a modulo addressing technique.
Smart MIDI processor. is special dimension is used in c onjunction with iMIDI rul es such as the Pattern
Alternator, Repetition Mode, and Legato Mode. Logic in th e iMIDI rule will determine whi ch split plays at
any given time.
Dimension Split Examples
A two-way mod wheel split.
A two-way sustain pedal split.
A four-way keyboard switch split. Playing keys in
the keyswitch region will select among the dierent
articulations.
A complex instrument using eight dimensio ns at
once. Since each dimensi on has two splits, any o f
256 dierent samples may be triggered (2 x 2 x 2 x 2
x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2).
