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 ...
