GigaStudio 4 Reference Manual 153
Impulse Set
There is a one-to-one correspondence of bank names to impulse sets. A bank (.FXB) contains the impulse set
as well as the presets that are defined for that impulse set.
Preset:
A preset will have a defined musically useful context for the bank (.FXB) and its impulse set.
Instrument:
Displays the active instrument utilizing the GigaPulse instance. A full list of all the currently loaded
instruments is available in the drop-down list.
File Menu:
The File Menu consist of a list of options for creating, opening, saving banks and presets as well as building
your own impulse sets. Please check the release notes and electronic documentation for the latest updates on
the GigaPulse file menu options. It is also possible to load your own impulse wave files and encode your own
musical context settings as instrument impulse sets or encode the impulses to a Gig instrument.
New…
Create a new blank preset. Define your own parameters and save with options described herein. You will be
prompted to save the current active preset before proceeding. You will then be able to create an Instrument
Impulse Set (.iis) using the IIS Builder. Using the builder, you will then be able to save these instances as preset
bank (.fxb) files.
Open Preset…
Open an existing preset (.fxp). You will be prompted to save the current active preset before proceeding.
Open Bank…
Open an available bank (.fxb). A bank will contain from one to any number of defined presets.
Save Preset Within Current Bank (as new)…
This is a shortcut operation. It enables you to quickly perform a save operation without a prompt for a
location and filename. Save the current active preset as new within the current bank. This will add the preset to
the bank and not overwrite the current preset’s last saved state.
Save Preset Within Current Bank (overwrite)…
Overwrite the current active preset within the current bank. This will replace the preset from its last saved
state to its current active state. The old preset will be gone forever.
Save Preset…
Save a preset (.FXP) to a specified location within a standard file browser window.
Save Bank…
Save a bank (.FXB) to a specified location within a standard file browser window.
Edit Current IIS
Opens the IIS builder for defining parameters for the current impulse set.
Rescan Bank/Preset Directories
Depending on the search paths defined in the Configuration dialog, GigaPulse will scan to refresh its
awareness of newly added banks and presets.
