Chris@123 9 <p><b>Welcome to Sonic Visualiser!</b></p> <p>Sonic Visualiser is a
Chris@123 10 complex application, but it's easy enough to get started with.</p>
Chris@123 11 <p>Try importing an audio file and using the Pane menu to add some
Chris@123 12 different views of it.</p> <p>Check out the links on the Help menu for
Chris@123 13 tutorials and other documentation!</p>

Chris@122 18 <p>Sonic Visualiser's window is organised into "panes" and
Chris@120 19 "layers". To begin with, you have one pane. Import an audio
Chris@122 20 file to see it displayed in a waveform layer on that pane.</p>

Chris@122 25 <p>Each pane can contain any number of layers, which appear stacked
Chris@119 26 from "front" to "back" on the same timeline. A layer can contain a
Chris@122 27 view of audio, or of points (time instants) or data plots (time-values).</p>

Chris@122 32 <p>There's a "layer property box" to the right of each pane, with one
Chris@120 33 tab for each of the layers on that pane. Click on a layer's tab to
Chris@120 34 bring that layer to the front. You can then adjust its colour and
Chris@120 35 other display properties in the property box.

Chris@120 37 The first tab is always for the pane itself, which has a few
Chris@122 38 adjustable properties of its own.</p>

Chris@122 43 <p>If you have more than one pane, only one of them will be "current",
Chris@119 44 marked with a black bar at the left side. Just click on another pane
Chris@119 45 to make it current. Most editing operations affect the layer that's
Chris@122 46 at the front of the current pane.</p>

Chris@122 51 <p>You can use different zoom levels for different panes by un-checking
Chris@119 52 the Global Zoom control for one of them. By default, all panes will
Chris@122 53 zoom and scroll together.</p>

Chris@122 64 <p>The Transforms menu lists things you can do to extract features from
Chris@119 65 or process your audio. The available outputs of any Vamp
Chris@119 66 feature-extraction plugins or LADSPA audio effects plugins you have
Chris@122 67 will show up here.</p>
