4 Quick Start

4.1 Launch, Play

When you open the PolyKB in your host, an Init preset is loaded.
You can directly use this preset, a simple one oscillator standard sound which can be seen as a
basis for your sound design, or load one of the 250 factory presets provided.
To browse the factory-preset library, just select a category of instruments, using the bank drop
down menu at the left of the PolyKB Tool Bar. (See Picture Below)
You can then use the up and down arrows located at the right of the preset name, or open the
whole bank list by clicking on the preset name (See Picture Below)
Note: We have also provided different Init Patches, which can be seen as a good basis to begin to
design new presets. All these presets can be found in the [-Init-] Type.

4.2 Toolbar

Note: The toolbar at the top of the interface allows you to load or save presets, make a comparison
between settings A and B, or modify the options. These functions are described in detail later in this
manual.
Click on the PRESET to show the available presets in the current sorted group. Please note that
selecting a new preset without saving your current settings will erase any changes you have made to
those settings.
Click on the sort arrow button to display the current sorted group and to choose the preset within it.
