Acoustic Space: Cascade Button
The Cascade Button combines the benefits, settings & impulse sets of two different
banks while using the CPU resources of only one. You get two for the price of one using
this feature. A room impulse uses plenty of CPU resources as it is. Imagine you also
want to add a Violin Body or Piano Resonance to the mix. Normally doing so would
require two separate instances of GigaPulse to be loaded and thus twice the CPU load.
However, Cascade Mode resolves the problem by combining two or more impulse sets.
The only limitation with the Cascade feature is that you lose access to the settings of
the first GigaPulse banks once you have clicked on the cascade button. You can tweak
the second one after cascading but not the first one.
To use the cascade mode of GigaPulse to Combine two ImpulseSets:
For example, you can apply a ConcertHall as well as a PianoBody to a dry piano.
1. Select a Bank to load the first ImpulseSet (i.e. ConcertHall) and adjust the controls to
your liking.
2. Click on the ‘Cascade’ button to turn it on (the yellow ‘on’ light should appear in the
‘Cascade’ button).
3. Select a Bank to load the second ImpulseSet (i.e. PianoBody).
At this time, the latest impulse set that is loaded (i.e. PianoBody) is combined with
the first (ConcertHall) sound created in step (1). As you play notes, you will hear
attributes of each…as if your instrument is being played in the (PianoBody) within the
(ConcertHall).
Note that the ‘Cascade’ button’s ‘On’ light remains in the ‘On’ state. This indicates that
GigaPulse remains in ‘Cascade Mode’ (cascading the first impulse set (ConcertHall) with
the current ImpulseSet and settings).
If desired, you may encode this cascaded GigaPulse configuration to a Gig File using the
‘File’ menu’s ‘Encode Current Cfg to a Gig Instrument’.
4. Repeat Step 3 as often as desired.
For example: Load a different ImpulseSet (i.e. GuitarBody).
At this time, the latest impulse set that is loaded (i.e. GuitarBody) is combined with
the first (ConcertHall). As you play notes, you will hear attributes of each…as if
your instrument is being played in the (GuitarBody) within the (ConcertHall). The
(PianoBody) impulse set is no longer applied…it was replaced by the (GuitarBody).
