Chapter 2 Quick Start Guide - Waves GRAND RHAPSODY PIANO User Manual

CHAPTER 2 QUICK START GUIDE

Insert the Grand Rhapsody Piano plugin on an instrument track in your DAW, or launch the standalone
application. The plugin will load its default set of microphones and will be ready to use. Experiment with
mics, reverb, EQ, and delay and you'll soon understand how to use the controls to get the sound you want.
Navigating the Presets
Grand Rhapsody Piano presets are managed with the WaveSystem Toolbar at the top of the window.
Use the Next/Previous preset arrows on the Toolbar to scroll through presets. Click the Load button to see all presets.
Refer to the WaveSystem Toolbar User Guide for more information at http://www.waves.com/downloads/manuals.
Selecting the Samples Folder
When you first launch the standalone application or instantiate the plugin, you will likely see a prompt, "Please locate
your Waves Instrument's Samples Library folder." Navigate to the folder that holds your sample library and click OK. This
path will be saved with the plugin preferences.
Information about the samples folder is shown in the WaveSystem toolbar.
To select a different sample folder, click on the Samples Library bar and navigate to the desired folder. The folder must
contain valid Waves sampled instrument files with the wsf resource, otherwise the OK button will be grayed out. This
selection replaces the existing folder location preference.
