TASCAM GigaEditor 4 Manual 23

To use this feature, you must visit the Preferences dialog (Edit-Preferences on the main menu) and specify

either the note-number or note-name method. You will get the best results when the pitch indication is set

o by spaces, and when there are no numbers elsewhere in the sample name. For the note-name method,

only sharps (“#”) are recognized, not ats.

Creating a Region

e next step in creating an instrument is to create some regions. While there are many ways to create

regions, in this section we will do it manually. is is the least convenient way to create regions but it is

sometimes useful. For example, drum kits oen don’t lend themselves to the more streamlined ways of

creating regions, because each drum (snare, kick, hi hat, etc.) is eectively a dierent instrument and may

require a dierently structured region.

Creating a few regions manually will also help familiarize you with the concept of mapping samples, before

we introduce the more advanced ways of mapping like the Instrument Wizard.

To create our rst region we’ll use the Region Window, shown above. For a full discussion of this window’s

features, see page 130.

1. Place the mouse under the note where you want

to create a region, and right-click. In this example,

we’ll create a region on Middle C.

2. Choose New region from the menu.
