Selecting slice objects and VIP objects
Slice objects can be selected/deselected by clicking them with the mouse. The keyboard
shortcut "Ctrl + A" selects all slices; deselection is made by clicking on "empty space".
VIP Objects cannot be selected directly in the Elastic Audio editor. When a slice object is
selected, the corresponding VIP object is also selected.

• Load objects into the Elastic Audio editor -> "Relative" mode.
