Re: Unity note in gigedit?
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.
