TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 209
e transitional and s econdary release will trigger exactly the same way as de ned in the normal mode. If
the sound developer does not wish to have a secondary relea se or transitional sound, t hen the instrument
layout must leave th ese dimension s plits mapped to a null sample (also referred t o as ‘unmapped’ ).
One unique feature of the ‘Target T racking mode’ is the ‘return to root’ capability. is allows users to
perform real-time H ammer-On/O trills. When p erforming real-tim e trills where t he "Root" note i s
sustained while a s econdary note i s toggled, the rul e logic compreh ends the interva l direction and res o
the proper "Target" sustain sample when returning to root.
For example, a trill from C4 to F4 would behave in the following manner (omitting the release and
transition samples):
C4 - primary sustain
F4 - "Target U p" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustai n
F4 - "Target Up" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustai n
F4 - "Target Up" Sustain
C4 - "Target Down" Sustai n........
When ‘returning to root’ the Targ et sustain (as well as the tra nsitional sample and the secondary release)
will inherit the velocity of the note that is being released.
