GigaPulse Pro
GigaPulse is an exciting new component of GigaStudio 3.0. GigaPulse employs con-
volution to create incredibly realistic reverb, mic modeling and instrument resonance
simulation. Convolution uses an actual recording as the basis for signal processing,
essentially sampling the sound of a room. For example, the sound of a concert hall is
recorded with a set of unique tones. This “impulse” recording can then be imported into
the GigaPulse Pro encoding processor where the concert hall impulse can be included/
encoded into a sampled instrument or .gig file. When this instrument is loaded into
GS3, now embedded with convolution, GigaPulse SP (the convolution player included
with all version of GS3) reveals itself. The FX light will illuminate on the MIDI Mixer
channel, and you may bypass the efect by clicking on this button. The pulldown menu
will open the GigaPulse SP interface for parameter editing. The result sounds like you’re
playing in that hall.
GigaPulse Pro can also be used as a stand-alone NFX plug-in on your own sample librar-
ies. Use the new piano resonance model included with GigaPiano II on your favorite
piano library, or use GigaPulse’s surround reverb on your GigaStudio instruments.
All the elements of the GigaPulse interface are described in detail in this section.
