2.4. Taking SQ80 V for a test drive
Now that you have SQ80 V up and running, let's take it for a quick test drive!
If you haven't done so already, launch SQ80 V as a plugin or as a standalone instrument.
If you have a MIDI controller set up, use it to play some notes on SQ80 V. If not, use your
mouse to play the on-screen keyboard.
The Up and Down arrows at the top of the instrument let you step through all of the SQ80
V's available presets. Try playing a few and when you find one that you like, try adjusting
some of the other on-screen controls to see how it affects the sound.
Play freely with the controls - nothing is saved unless you specifically save a preset
(described later in this User Guide), so there is no chance of messing up any of SQ80 V's
factory presets as they are write protected.
At this point, we can wrap up the installation and test drive. We hope you have gotten off to
a smooth start. The rest of this guide will help you work your way through all of the SQ80
V features on a section-by-section basis. By the time you reach the end, we hope you'll
understand all of SQ80 V's features and will be using the instrument to create fantastic
music!
