Gig Performer 3.x User Manual

The Audio File Player designates the longest file loaded as the Master, whether or not it is play-enabled. The duration of the Master track becomes the loop length when loop playback is enabled.

The MIDI metronome is generated based on the length of the Master track, and information you supply about the number of bars in the loop and the number of beats in each bar.

Lanes can be muted and enabled in real-time while the player is in playback. As this is muting, not stopping playback, all files always stay in sync with the master track’s location, so if a lane is muted during playback and then enabled 10 seconds later, it resumes playing 10 seconds later than the point at which it was muted.

When a file is muted, you will still be able to see “ghost” meter activity for it.

Beneath the file duration on the right of each lane is a bar that turns blue as the file plays. The length of the bar represents the full duration of the file in that lane and the progress through it of the play cursor. So, while working in Multi mode, in 10 seconds, the blue bar in a lane with a 20 second-long file is filled to one half, where as the blue bar for a two-minute loop running at the same time in another lane is only filled 1/12th of the way across, just a small chunk.

To move the playhead to locations in the Master file other than the start, create a knob or slider widget and map it to the Playhead position parameter of the Audio File Player.
