-Gigedit is an editor for gig files. Gig files contain sampled
-instruments and are used by software samplers such as LinuxSampler and
-GigaStudio.
-
-Note that this is an alpha version with a lot of functionality
-missing. It is currently not possible to create new instruments,
-regions and dimensions, which means that a new gig file cannot be
-created from scratch. Existing gig files can however be loaded,
-examined and parameters inside the dimension regions can be modified.
