User guide

The last section in this guide dealt with functionality which affects the Gigmate’s sound.
This section concentrates on the facilities designed to operate the instrument effectively;
Patch memory, test tone facility, volume and bend range.
Patch Menus :
16 Control Panel
Bend Range: set the range between 0 and +-12 semitones.
Master Volume: as you would expect.
Poly Wave: controls the Polyphonic Section waveform.
Test Tone: Use this to check that the Gigmate is correctly
set up within your host software . If pressing keys does
not yield a sound but the Test Tone can be heard, then
the chances are that the Gigmate’s midi input is not
configured correctly. The test tone emits a pitch of middle C ʹ
you can thus check that the Gigmate’s tuning is correct.
Click on the white button labelled ’Patch ‘ in order to select a patch. Note that if you make
alterations to a par ticular patch, those alterations will remain in effect if you select a different
patch , but will not be present if you launch the Gigmate on another occasion. Copying patches
from one memory slot to another can be achieved by clicking on the menu labelled File . This
menu also includes options for saving & loading either individual patches (presets) or the
entire bank, as discrete files on your hard drive.
