Playing Cs-80 V4 For The First Time - Arturia CS-80 V User Manual

2.3. Playing CS-80 V4 for the First Time

Now that you have CS-80 V4 up and running, let's take it for a quick test drive!
If you haven't done so already, launch CS-80 V4 as a plug-in or as a standalone instrument.
If you have a MIDI controller set up, use it to play some notes on CS-80 V4. If not, you can
play from your computer's keyboard. You can also 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 CS-80 V4'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 they affect the sound.
Play with the controls, and don't worry — 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 CS-80
V4's factory presets.
We hope this chapter has gotten you off to a smooth start. Now that you're up and running,
the rest of this guide will help you work your way through all of CS-80 V4's features on
a section-by-section basis. By the time you reach the end, we hope you'll understand all
of CS-80 V4's capabilities – and will be using this fantastic instrument to create equally
fantastic music!
