Force to mono (stereo)

Forces the region to be either mono or stereo. Since mono and stereo samples cannot be mixed within a region, if any incompatible samples are currently mapped to the region, they will be unmapped.

Delete split

Deletes the selected split.

Tall velocity window

Toggles the velocity window between its normal position and a special “tall” configuration that is useful with large numbers of velocity splits.

Additional Dimension Windows

As we’ve seen, the large dimension window to the left of the others is dedicated to velocity. Additional dimensions can be created in any of the smaller horizontal dimension windows. Eight of these windows are available, but you can select a display mode that hides some of the windows if you don’t need them all.

Click the Dimension View button near the bottom of the Editor window to cycle through the available modes.

The Dimension Controller dialog again

To activate, deactivate, or modify a dimension, click the header bar at the top of a dimension window.

This brings up the Dimension Controller dialog, which we’ve seen previously in the section on the Velocity Window. Here we’ll just note that a long list of controllers other than velocity is available. Apart from that, the dialog works just as it does when launched from the Velocity Window.
