SoundFont to Tascam GigaStudio Translation

Each SoundFont file (.sf2) is translated into a single Giga file (.gig). The translation can take each Preset (which can contain several Instruments) or Instrument and converts it into one or more Giga Instruments within the .gig file. You can choose which in Format Options. Velocity splits are included as well as most other common parameters.

An option will be included in a future build which will allow separate .gig files for every Preset or Instrument within the SoundFont file.

Giga lacks a proper Coarse Tuning parameter - it uses a Unity Note parameter to change ptich coarsely. However, when the Pitch Track parameter is turned off, there is no more coarse tuning facility. Click here to see how Translator deals with this.

GigaStudio/Sampler can support a Stereo Sample structure - click here for special notes regarding translating into this structure.

GigaStudio/Sampler supports only a specific number of Layers and Velocity Splits - please see the Giga Overview for more information.
