Dimensions


Regions are futher subdivided by
dimensions. A dimension can have up to
128 splits each triggering a different
sample.

A dimension tells GigaStudio which
sample to trigger based on the position of
its assigned MIDI controller.

Samples

A .gig file also contains a collection of samples, imported initially
from individual .wav files. Each dimension split is assigned a
unique sample to play back. (We’ll refer to the process of assigning
samples to splits as mapping the instrument.)

A single sample can be assigned to multiple regions without
additional overhead.

Articulation Parameters


In addition to its sample assignment, each dimension split also has its own unique set of over 100
articulation parameters. Many of the parameters define traditional synth functions such as envelopes and
filters; others are unique to the Giga architecture. Th e articulation parameters are described in detail in a
later chapter.
