Mono Rule: Legato mode with connecting samples

Overview

e legato mode with connecting samples enab ling developers to simulat e

legato transitions without the n eed for interval specic sampling.

ere are two modes this version of rule: normal a nd target tracking.

Developer Requirem ents

• Set of standard sustain samples (primary sustain)

• Set of standard release t rigger samples (prim ary release)

• Set of 'connecting samples' (tran sitional sample)

Will require developer to sampl e an instrument performan ce of a 'legato movement,' i. e. two notes

performed in succession from whic h a sample of the transitio n can be extracted.

• Set of 'target' sustain samples (t arget sustain)

Optional for developer; primary su stain samples can double as target sustain since independ ent

envelope control and sample start oset capability will allo w for one set of sustain s amples to

perform both tasks eectively.

• Set of secondary release trigger samples (secondary release)

Also optional; 1 set of release trigg ers can be map ped to dierent dimensions w/ independent

editing capability to provide note-o functionality to entire instrument.

Functionality

Poly Mode

instrument behaves typically, not e-o messages re primary release trigger sam ples

Mono Mode

Giga tracks root of primary sustain to re o corresp onding secondary release and transitional samples as

primary sustain note moves to ta rget sustain note, i.e. if th e primary sustain is C4 and the target sustain is

F4, Giga recognizes C4 as the 'active' note and re s o the corr esponding C4 sec ondary release a nd C4

transitional samples when a note-on status is triggered by the F4 key.
