.SH NAME |

|
|
wav2gig \- Create GigaStudio (.gig) file from a set of WAV files. |

.SH SYNOPSIS |

[ OPTIONS ] GIG_FILE WAV_FILE_OR_DIR_1 [ WAV_FILE_OR_DIR_2 ... ] |

.SH DESCRIPTION |
8 |
|
|
Takes a list of wave (.wav) files and / or directories containing wave files as |
9 |
|
|
argument(s) and creates one new GigaStudio / GigaSampler (.gig) file for those |
10 |
|
|
samples. |
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
The created GigaStudio (.gig) file will contain the given input samples. The |
13 |
schoenebeck |
3990 |
samples' meta information (as far as available) like root note |
14 |
|
|
(a.k.a 'unity note'), fine tune, loop points, loop type and loop play count |
15 |
|
|
are automatically extracted from the input wave (.wav) files and applied |
16 |
|
|
accordingly. |
17 |
schoenebeck |
3980 |
|
18 |
|
|
Additionally this tool creates exactly one instrument inside the newly created |
19 |
|
|
GigaStudio (.gig) file and tries to automatically map the samples in a |
20 |
|
|
meaningful way to that instrument. As the wave (.wav) format currently does not |
21 |
|
|
support many of the meta information required for this particular task, this |
22 |
|
|
tool tries to guess the required information from the individual sample's name |
23 |
|
|
for mapping the samples accordingly. See |
24 |

By default this tool assumes the following input sample file naming scheme for |

92 |
|
|
them to velocity splits adequately: |
