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

19 <p>Sonic Visualiser's window is organised into <i>panes</i> and | |
20 <i>layers</i>. To begin with, you have one pane. Import an audio | |
21 file to see it displayed in a <i>waveform layer</i> on that pane.</p> | |
22 | |

27 | |
28 <p>Each pane can contain any number of layers, which appear stacked | |
29 from "front" to "back" on the same timeline. A layer can contain a | |
30 view of audio, or of points (time instants) or data plots (time-values).</p> | |
31 | |

36 | |
37 <p>There's a <i>layer property box</i> shown to the right of each | |
38 layer, with one tab for each of the layers on that pane. Click on a | |
39 layer's tab to bring that layer to the front. You can then adjust its | |
40 colour and other display properties in the property box.</p> | |
41 | |
42 <p>The first tab is always for the pane itself, which has a few | |
43 adjustable properties of its own.</p> | |

49 | |
50 <p>If you have more than one pane, only one of them will be "current", | |
51 marked with a black bar at the left side. Just click on another pane | |
52 to make it current. Most editing operations affect the layer that's | |
53 at the front of the current pane.</p> | |

60 <p>You can use different zoom levels for different panes by un-checking | |
61 the Global Zoom control for one of them. By default, all panes will | |
62 zoom and scroll together.</p> | |

70 control in the bottom-right of the window.</p> | |

77 <p>The Transforms menu lists things you can do to extract features from | |
78 or process your audio. The available outputs of any Vamp | |
79 feature-extraction plugins or LADSPA audio effects plugins you have | |
80 will show up here.</p> | |
