CHAPTER 12: QUICKEDIT VIEW QuickEdit is a powerful tool that provides easy access to instrument/dimension specific synth parameters like attenuation, pan, tuning, envelopes, filters, LFO’s, and loop points. Edits made in QuickEdit are non-destructive, meaning they do not alter the original GIG files...

EDIT MODES AND SELECTIONS In a Giga instrument, every keyboard region has its own parameter settings for envelopes, LFOs, filters, and the like. The keyboard regions, each covering one or more keys, are displayed in the horizontal strip just above the virtual keyboard. You'll notice that one of the ...

AMPLITUDE ENVELOPE SECTION Preattack: The Pre-attack level is adjusted with percentage numbers (0-100). It is the very first point of a sample’s ADSR envelope and sets the initial volume level of the attack. For example, a Preattack level of 50.00 sets the beginning of the attack envelope to half th...

PITCH ENVELOPE SECTION Attack: The pitch Attack time is measured in seconds (0-60). This value determines the amount of time that it takes for a sustained note to be tuned from the specified pitch Depth value back to its original pitch. Depth: Pitch Envelope Depth is measured in cents and represents...
