a dimension with few clicks. Same applies to the dimension type: you may |
and select another type for the respective dimension. |

now simply open the dimension manager dialog and alter the type of a |

dimension with few clicks. |

Another great enhancement of the dimension manager is the ability to alter |
135 |
|
the dimensions of all regions of an instrument at once. Previously you had |
136 |
|
to do that for each region on the keyboard separately. For example to |
137 |
|
delete a velocity split dimension, you had to double click on a region, |
138 |
|
delete the velocity dimension with the dimension manager dialog, then |
139 |
|
double click on the next region, delete the velocity dimension there as |
140 |
|
well, and so on. Now you can just click on the "All Regions" check box of |
141 |
|
the dimension manager, select the velocity dimension, click on "Remove" |
142 |
|
and that's it. Also notice the different display style in this |
143 |
|
"All Regions" mode, like shown on the screen shot left: Since you are |
144 |
|
viewing the dimension properties of not just one region, but of all |
145 |
|
regions of your instrument, we thought we also need to show you in case |
146 |
|
individual regions differ regarding their precise dimension properties. |
147 |
|
For example on the screen shot on the left you see that some regions have |
148 |
|
a velocity dimension with 2 zones, whereas other regions have a velocity |
149 |
|
dimension with 4 zones instead. Also there seem to be some regions which |
150 |
|
have a modulation wheel dimension and other regions which do not have a |
151 |
|
modulation wheel dimension at all. Same applies to the Layer dimension: |
152 |
|
in this particular example not all regions do have a Layer dimension. |
153 |
|
However all regions seem to have a Sample Channel (Stereo) dimension, |
154 |
|
and all regions even have the same amount of zones for that particular dimension. |
