Playzone
e playzone denes the musical keyboard region over which the rule will be applied. By default the
soware will initialize the playz one to be the entire valid re gion of your instrument.
Auto detect polyphonic mode
is feature enables the sampler to automatically switch between monophonic and polyphonic
playback depending on how the user is playing the instrument. Us ing the sensitivity setting, you can
adjust the timing threshold at which t his feature will activate.
With this hybrid mono/poly mode enabled, note on messages that fall within the user dened timing
sensitivity (chordal playing) bypass the Mono Mode rule and play ba ck with traditional polyphony
while note on messages that fall out side of the user dened ti ming sensitivity (melodic playing) will be
processed using th e Mono Mode ru le.
Override Mono rule o n a NULL split
Basically, this will cause the logic to verify that the note you are sli ding to has a NON-null
sample mapped to it. If it is determined that the target note and split is a NULL sample then
the mono rule is overriden and the note does not slide. Useful for stacking multiple
Portamento enabled instruments with overlapping ranges.
Mono Rule: Staccato mode
Overview
Staccato mode is the most simp le of the three Mono Mod e Rules. In this mode, follow ing notes will force
previous notes to t erminate. Use th e “note-o del ay” slider to det ermine how long to wait aer a new note-
on before sending a note-o messa ge to the previous note.  e release time of t erminated samples is
determined by that regio ns EG1 release time .
Developer Requirem ents
ere are no s pecications for using the St accato mode Mo no Rule. It can be applied to a ny instrument,
regardless of dimension archit ecture.
Mono Rule: Legato Portamento mode (PRF)
Overview
In this mode, following notes will bend the currently playing note to the new “destination” note. e
characteristics of how the note sl ides are determined using b oth global and custom Mo no Rule parameters.
ere are two basic Le gato Portamento modes to choos e from:
Default (Notes are transposed without ltering applied)
Custom (PRF - Portamento Reshaping Filter applied)
Controlling Portamento time
Both Default and Custom versions of the Legato Portamento Mode provide continuous control over
portamento time by virtue of MID I Continuous Controller # 5 (Portamento Time). In GigaStudio, any of
the three MIDI channel controllers can be assig ned to Continuous Controller #5 (Port amento Time),
replacing the default Volume, Tune, or Pan control. It is also possible to control portamento time using a n
external controller tra nsmitting Continuous Controller #5 data.
