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