Piano Release Mode
This option is intended for Piano samples. On a real piano, you can step on the sustain pedal very quickly after
releasing the notes and you will still get some strings resonance. This checkbox allows GigaStudio to emulate
that when used in conjunction with pedal down samples.
(Note that this mode is for use only with piano libraries that use actual pedal down samples. It’s not needed
when the ambience is supplied by GigaPulse.)
Articulation Section: Amplitude/Pitch Tab
Amplitude Envelope Parameters
An envelope represents how a sound’s dynamic properties change over time: How the sound begins, what
occurs during the sustain characteristics, and how it returns to silence. All acoustic sounds have associated
envelopes. The three primary aspects of any given sound affected by envelopes are amplitude (volume),
frequency (pitch), and harmonic content (timbre or filter). In QuickEdit, these are controlled by the Amplitude
Envelope, Pitch Envelope, and Filter Envelope respectively.
