+      * 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.
       *
-      *  Every Gigasampler Instrument has at least one dimension region
+      * One instance of a DimensionRegion reflects exactly one particular case
-      *  (exactly then when it has no dimension defined).
+      * 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).
       *
-      *  Gigasampler provides three Envelope Generators and Low Frequency
+      * Note that a DimensionRegion object only defines "what to do", but it does
-      *  Oscillators:
+      * 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.
+      *
+      * The Gigasampler/GigaStudio format defines 3 Envelope Generators and 3
+      * 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

+      *
+      * 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.
