-<p>
-	The contents of this options box partially depends on the type of data
-	in the clip, audio or MIDI. The common settings are:
-</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.

 <p>
-	The only audio-specific setting is <dfn>Gain (dB)</dfn> which adjusts

+	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.

-<p>
-	For MIDI clips, there are several specific options:
-</p>
-
-<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
-		where you can select a patch to send when a MIDI clip is triggered.
