Chapter 11: Intelligent MIDI (iMIDI) Rules
iMIDI rules are bits of extra logic which can be added to a Giga instrument. Th ey range from the simple to
the very complex. For example, when the Transposition Rule is added to an instrument it simply
transposes every note seen by that instrument by a given number of semitones. Other rules work in
conjunction with specially defined dimensions to realize sampled legato effects, to trigger rapidly-patterned
articulation changes, and so forth. Th e available iMIDI rules are listed later in this chapter.
iMIDI Rules are added, edited, or deleted via the
iMIDI Rule Manager
in one of two ways:
•
In GigaStudio, a rule can be added to an instrument and then saved together with the instrument
as part of a performance file. Th e rule will be loaded with the instrument whenever the
performance is loaded.
•
In the Instrument Editor, a rule added to an instrument will be saved with that instrument in the
.gig file. Th e rule is then applied to the instrument whenever the instrument is loaded.
