| 4 Welcome to Sonic Visualiser! | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Sonic Visualiser is pretty complex, but you can use it for simple | |
| 7 things very easily. Try importing an audio file and using the Pane | |
| 8 menu to add some different views of it. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Check out the links on the Help menu for tutorials and other | |
| 11 documentation! | |

| 16 Sonic Visualiser's window is organised into "panes" and | |
| 17 "layers". To begin with, you have one pane. Import an audio | |
| 18 file to see it displayed in a waveform layer on that pane. | |

| 23 Each pane can contain any number of layers, which appear stacked | |
| 24 from "front" to "back" on the same timeline. A layer can contain a | |
| 25 view of audio, or of points (time instants) or data plots (time-values). | |

| 30 There's a "layer property box" to the right of each pane, with one | |
| 31 tab for each of the layers on that pane. Click on a layer's tab to | |
| 32 bring that layer to the front. You can then adjust its colour and | |
| 33 other display properties in the property box. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 The first tab is always for the pane itself, which has a few | |
| 36 adjustable properties of its own. | |

| 41 If you have more than one pane, only one of them will be "current", | |
| 42 marked with a black bar at the left side. Just click on another pane | |
| 43 to make it current. Most editing operations affect the layer that's | |
| 44 at the front of the current pane. | |

| 49 You can use different zoom levels for different panes by un-checking | |
| 50 the Global Zoom control for one of them. By default, all panes will | |
| 51 zoom and scroll together. | |

| 56 You can speed up and slow down playback using the Playback Speedup | |
| 57 control in the bottom-right of the window. | |

| 62 The Transforms menu lists things you can do to extract features from | |
| 63 or process your audio. The available outputs of any Vamp | |
| 64 feature-extraction plugins or LADSPA audio effects plugins you have | |
| 65 will show up here. | |
