-       The contents of this options box partially depends on the type of data

+       There are several ways to load a clip into a trigger slot:

 </p>
 
 <ul>
 </p>
 
 <ul>

-       <li>
-               <dfn>Name</dfn>: the full name of the clip's file, usually visible in its
-               shortened form.
-       </li>
-       <li>
-               <dfn>Load</dfn>: this button allows loading a clip's file into
-               the selected trigger slot.
-       </li>
-       <li>
-               <dfn>Color</dfn>: here you can open a color chooser dialog to set
-               the color of the clip's title inside the trigger slot.
-       </li>
+<li>
+       From right click menu: right-click over a trigger slot, choose
+       <kbd class="menu">Load</kbd>, select an audio or a MIDI file.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From <dfn>Clip Properties</dfn> box: click the
+       <kbd class="button">Load</kbd> button, select an audio or a MIDI file.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the <dfn>Clips</dfn> library: choose an audio or a MIDI file,
+       listen to it before adding, then pick, drag towards the grid and drop
+       into a trigger slot.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the <dfn>Regions</dfn> list: choose a region, drag it towards
+       the grid and drop it into a trigger slot.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the timeline: select a region, right-click, choose
+       <kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (with processing)</kbd> or
+       <kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (without processing)</kbd>,
+       then enable the <kbd class="option">Bounce to Trigger Slot</kbd> checkbox
+       and choose the cue.
+</li>

 </ul>

-       The only audio-specific setting is <dfn>Gain (dB)</dfn> which adjusts
-       the output volume of a clip.

-
-<p>
-       For MIDI clips, there are several specific options:
+       The type of data must match the type of tracks a clip is being inserted to.
+       E.g. it's impossible to place a MIDI clip into a trigger slot of an audio
+       track.

-<ul>
-       <li>
-               <dfn>Velocity Adj</dfn>: this effectively adjusts the output volume
-               by increasing the velocity of MIDI notes.
-       </li>
-       <li>
-               <dfn>Send Patches</dfn>: this enables sending a control message
-               to load a particular patch. This is typically used for external
-               MIDI gear such a hardware synthesizers.
-       </li>
-       <li>
-               <dfn>MIDI Patches</dfn>: clicking this button will open a dialog
