TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 5
Chapter 1: About the GigaStudio 4.0 Instrument Editor e GigaStudio Instrum ent Editor is a separate a pplication that works with Gi gaStudio. e Ed itor allows
you to create your own instruments or edit existing Giga inst ruments.
You can run the Editor simultan eously with GigaStudio, but it’s not necessary. e Editor itself can l oad
instruments into memory, allowing you to hear your edits by playing a n external MIDI controller or by
right-clicking the on-screen keyboard.
Giga Editor 4.0 includes the following changes from version 3.0:
1. e Dynamic Expression Fi lter, which in Giga 3 was ac cessible only through the use of a specially
formatted initialization le, is now exposed in the Editor as part of the normal parameter scheme.
Some of the DEF parameters are global to an instrument, and are found on a new tab in the
Instrument Properti es dialog. e DEF coe cients are part of the subr egion articulati on and are
edited with the usual tools (the par ameter value list and the “b lue ball” graph).
2. e control pan el for the Mono M ode iMIDI ru le has a new tab w ith a graphical edi tor for the
Portamento Reshaping Filter, which like the DEF was previously accessible only by editing an
initialization le.
