Edit Current IIS
Opens the IIS builder for defining parameters for the current impulse set.
Encode Context to IIS
Opens the Impulse Edior to convert INI-DAT format impulse sets (obsolete).
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.
Set Current Bank/Preset as Default
This will define the current active preset as the default setting when the bank im-
pulse is loaded.
Configuration…
Define search paths and options for the banks and mic models and their associated
file types. Recommended file types are:
• .IIS (instrument impulse set)
• .FXB (bank)
• .FXP (preset)
TurboMode ->PureMode (not recommended)
Pure Mode is a 100% mathematically perfect convolution. This is very CPU intensive.
It is useful for some special applications, but most often the Turbo Mode, utilizing TAS-
CAM’s patents pending efficient convolution algorithm, is recommended.
Turbo Mode is the default mode for GigaPulse and employs a computationally op-
timized technology for the convolved signal. In addition, when TurboMode is enabled,
the tail model can be employed It is an extremely high quality convolution at a very
significant CPU computational savings. Tail Model is designed for use with very long
impulses. GigaPulse 3.0 convolution gives you roughly 3 seconds of 32bit floating point
processing at 48kHz, and longer impulses can be simulated by using the Tail Model. The
included bank 0026-Ten Second Smooth Algorithmic Hall (2 channels, 1 position).fxb, for
example, gives you ten seconds of processing utilizing both the Turbo algorithm and
the tail model.
Please note that Pure mode has an effective limit of 3 seconds (at 48kHz). This is pres-
ently the limitation place upon the convolution engine for maximum computational
efficiency. It is very likely that future revisions of GigaPulse will be able to extend this
limit as more computational resources become more widely available.
