Chapter 11: Intelligent MIDI (iMIDI) Rules

iMIDI rules are bits of extra logic which can be added to a Giga instrument. They range from the simple to the very complex. For example, when the Transposition Rule is added to an instrument it simply transposes every note seen by that instrument by a given number of semitones. Other rules work in conjunction with specially defined dimensions to realize sampled legato effects, to trigger rapidly-patterned articulation changes, and so forth. The available iMIDI rules are listed later in this chapter.

iMIDI Rules are added, edited, or deleted via the iMIDI Rule Manager in one of two ways:

•In GigaStudio, a rule can be added to an instrument and then saved together with the instrument as part of a performance file. The rule will be loaded with the instrument whenever the performance is loaded.

•In the Instrument Editor, a rule added to an instrument will be saved with that instrument in the

.gig file. The rule is then applied to the instrument whenever the instrument is loaded.
