Unity note in gigedit?

Can someone explain to me what the unity note in gigedit does?
Unity note is what's called "root note" in Kontakt. It tells LinuxSampler what pitch the sample is a recording of.
If you have a recording of some instrument playing a C3 and set the unity note for that sample to C3, the sample will then be played back as a C3 when hitting C3 on a keyboard if the region containing the sample was positioned over the C3 key. And if you stretch the region over neighboring keys, say a semitone up and down, the sample will be played back as a B2 when you hit the B2 key and as C#3 when you hit the C#3 key.
