There are several ways to select multiple regions.(for deleting, moving or editing)
1. Drag-select several or all the regions in the region map. You need a blank space to drag from.
2. Control-select several regions. This is good for selecting non-consecutive regions. Hold the control key down and select the regions you want.
3. Shift-select. You can not drag-select regions that are surrounded by regions on both sides. If you select on top of a region and drag, you will move the region. To select several regions that are surrounded, select one region and shift select another region and all the regions in between will now be selected.

Stretching Regions
When you first create a region, it is 1 note in length. Regions can be any length from 1 note to 127 notes. To stretch a region, select it and grab one side or the other and drag.

Zooming and scrolling
The zoom buttons allow you to zoom the notes in and out. Zooming out makes it easier to select all the regions at once. Zooming in makes selecting individual regions much easier.
When you are zoomed in, you will need to scroll the regions left and right to get them in view. To scroll the regions, grab the keyboard and drag it left and right.
(region map \ Zoom & Scroll.avi)
Region Scale
The scale tool helps make the editing of regions parameters as wide or precise as you need.
The blue dot in a region represents a parameter such as an envelope attack or release time or any of the other parameters available in the toolbar. Dragging the blue dot up and down adjust that parameter. The scale sets how wide the dot's range is.
For instance, the envelope times can range from 0 to 60 seconds. The scale tool can set the range from 1 to 60 seconds in 1-second increments.

2. You can edit any combination of sub-regions parameters in the region map.
3. You can edit several consecutive regions envelope parameters all at once in the region map.
4. You can edit any selection of regions in the region map
5. The drag all and drag linear buttons allow graphic editing of multiple region parameters.
