Dimension Select DROP-DOWN Menu

This is similar to the Keyboard Select menu, but it governs the selection of splits within each keyboard region, as displayed in the dimension strip area just below the editing tabs. The options are:

All splits: Edits will always be applied to every split within a region. In the dimension selector strips, you can click any split to give it the bright yellow highlight and display its parameters. But all other splits will retain the dark yellow highlight, indicating that they will also be modified if you change a value.

Stereo pairs: In this mode, splits can be selected in any combination. As an illustration, recall our piano instrument with the 24 splits per region (12 velocity levels times 2 sustain pedal positions). In "Stereo pairs" mode you could, for example, select only the three loudest velocity levels for editing, by highlighting the last three segments in the velocity strip. The sustain pedal strip would control whether you're editing the three loudest pedal-up splits, the three loudest pedal-down splits, or both (six splits in all). To select multiple splits in any dimension, click in that dimension strip while holding down the CTRL or SHIFT keys.

Individual splits: When viewing a stereo instrument, you'll notice an additional dimension strip labeled Stereo". Stereo GVI instruments have independent parameter settings for the left and right sides of every split. In practice, it's rare to find any parameter set differently for the two sides of the same split, so edits are normally applied to both sides simultaneously. If you do need to apply an edit to only the left or right side of a region, "Individual splits" mode will let you do it. We suggest you use this mode only when you absolutely need to - otherwise you may find yourself applying more general edits accidentally to only one stereo channel.
