+     /** @brief Encapsulates articulation informations of a dimension region.
+      *
+      * This is the most important data object of the Gigasampler / GigaStudio
+      * format. A DimensionRegion provides the link to the sample to be played
+      * and all required articulation informations to be interpreted for playing
+      * back the sample and processing it appropriately by the sampler software.
+      * Every Region of a Gigasampler Instrument has at least one dimension
+      * region (exactly then when the Region has no dimension defined). Many
+      * Regions though provide more than one DimensionRegion, which reflect
+      * different playing "cases". For example a different sample might be played
+      * if a certain pedal is pressed down, or if the note was triggered with
+      * different velocity.
+      *
+      * One instance of a DimensionRegion reflects exactly one particular case
+      * while playing an instrument (for instance "note between C3 and E3 was
+      * triggered AND note on velocity was between 20 and 42 AND modulation wheel
+      * controller is between 80 and 127). The DimensionRegion defines what to do
+      * under that one particular case, that is which sample to play back and how
+      * to play that sample back exactly and how to process it. So a
+      * DimensionRegion object is always linked to exactly one sample. It may
+      * however also link to no sample at all, for defining a "silence" case
+      * where nothing shall be played (for example when note on velocity was
+      * below 6).
       *
-      *  Every Gigasampler Instrument has at least one dimension region
+      * Note that a DimensionRegion object only defines "what to do", but it does
-      *  (exactly then when it has no dimension defined).
+      * not define "when to do it". To actually resolve which DimensionRegion to
+      * pick under which situation, you need to refer to the DimensionRegions'
+      * parent Region object. The Region object contains the necessary
+      * "Dimension" definitions, which in turn define which DimensionRegion is
+      * associated with which playing case exactly.
       *
-      *  Gigasampler provides three Envelope Generators and Low Frequency
+      * The Gigasampler/GigaStudio format defines 3 Envelope Generators and 3
-      *  Oscillators:
+      * Low Frequency Oscillators:
       *
       *  - EG1 and LFO1, both controlling sample amplitude
       *  - EG2 and LFO2, both controlling filter cutoff frequency
       *  - EG3 and LFO3, both controlling sample pitch
+      *
+      * Since the gig format was designed as extension to the DLS file format,
+      * this class is derived from the DLS::Sampler class. So also refer to
+      * DLS::Sampler for additional informations, class attributes and methods.

So this is exceptional for the velocity dimension only. All other dimension types have the same dimension zone sizes for every single DimensionRegion (of the sample Region).

+      *
+      * Note: Instead of using MIDI rules, we recommend you using real-time
+      * instrument scripts instead. Read about the reasons below.
+      *
+      * MIDI Rules (also called "iMIDI rules" or "intelligent MIDI rules") were
+      * introduced with GigaStudio 4 as an attempt to increase the power of
+      * potential user controls over sounds. At that point other samplers already
+      * supported certain powerful user control features, which were not possible
+      * with GigaStudio yet. For example triggering new notes by MIDI CC
+      * controller.
+      *
+      * Such extended features however were usually implemented by other samplers
+      * by requiring the sound designer to write an instrument script which the
+      * designer would then bundle with the respective instrument file. Such
+      * scripts are essentially text files, using a very specific programming
+      * language for the purpose of controlling the sampler in real-time. Since
+      * however musicians are not typically keen to writing such cumbersome
+      * script files, the GigaStudio designers decided to implement such extended
+      * features completely without instrument scripts. Instead they created a
+      * set of rules, which could be defined and altered conveniently by mouse
+      * clicks in GSt's instrument editor application. The downside of this
+      * overall approach however, was that those MIDI rules were very limited in
+      * practice. As sound designer you easily came across the possiblities such
+      * MIDI rules were able to offer.
+      *
+      * Due to such severe use case constraints, support for MIDI rules is quite
+      * limited in libgig. At the moment only the "Control Trigger", "Alternator"
+      * and the "Legato" MIDI rules are supported by libgig. Consequently the
+      * graphical instrument editor application gigedit just supports the
+      * "Control Trigger" and "Legato" MIDI rules, and LinuxSampler even does not
+      * support any MIDI rule type at all and LinuxSampler probably will not
+      * support MIDI rules in future either.
+      *
+      * Instead of using MIDI rules, we introduced real-time instrument scripts
+      * as extension to the original GigaStudio file format. This script based
+      * solution is much more powerful than MIDI rules and is already supported
+      * by libgig, gigedit and LinuxSampler.

+      *
+      * This is the entry class for accesing a Gigasampler/GigaStudio (.gig) file
+      * with libgig. It allows you to open existing .gig files, modifying them
+      * and saving them persistently either under the same file name or under a
+      * different location.
+      *
+      * A .gig file is merely a monolithic file. That means samples and the
+      * defintion of the virtual instruments are contained in the same file. A
+      * .gig file contains an arbitrary amount of samples, and an arbitrary
+      * amount of instruments which are referencing those samples. It is also
+      * possible to store samples in .gig files not being referenced by any
+      * instrument. This is not an error from the file format's point of view and
+      * it is actually often used in practice during the design phase of new gig
+      * instruments.
+      *
+      * So on toplevel of the gig file format you have:
+      *
+      * - A set of samples (see Sample).
+      * - A set of virtual instruments (see Instrument).
+      *
+      * And as extension to the original GigaStudio format, we added:
+      *
+      * - Real-time instrument scripts (see Script).
+      *
+      * Note that the latter however is only supported by libgig, gigedit and
+      * LinuxSampler. Scripts are not supported by the original GigaStudio
+      * software.
+      *
+      * All released Gigasampler/GigaStudio file format versions are supported
+      * (so from first Gigasampler version up to including GigaStudio 4).
+      *
+      * Since the gig format was designed as extension to the DLS file format,
+      * this class is derived from the DLS::File class. So also refer to
+      * DLS::File for additional informations, class attributes and methods.
