# Quick Start

*TODO Update for v1*
Once Rack is installed and launched *(see [Installing](Installing.html))*, you will see the demo patch.

Once Rack is installed and launched *(see [Installing](Installing.html))*, you will see an empty rack with a toolbar.

![Initial patch](images/initialpatch.png)
Before you try out this patch, you will need to choose an audio driver and device by clicking on the digital display of the [AUDIO-8](Core.html#audio) module.
You may also wish to select a MIDI driver and device by clicking in the digital display of the [MIDI-CV](Core.html#midi-cv) module.
Alternatively you can use your computer keyboard to generate MIDI notes.

Add a module by right-clicking on an empty space on the rack or by pressing `<enter>`.
Select the [Core](Core.html) plugin and then Audio to connect Rack to an audio device on your computer.

![Module Browser](images/modulebrowser.png)

You can move the module by clicking and dragging an empty space on its panel.
Select an audio driver and device by clicking on Audio's digital display.

Continue adding more modules, such as VCO-1 and Mixer from the Fundamental plugin.
Connect a cable from the SIN output of the VCO-1 to the input of the Mixer by clicking and dragging from one of the ports.

Connect another cable from the Mixer output to the first channel of Audio's "output" section, and add another cable to the second channel.
You can stack multiple cables on output ports by dragging from an input to an output, or by Ctrl-clicking (Cmd-clicking on MacOS) from an output to an input.

Finally, adjust Mixer's first channel or main volume by clicking and dragging the fader or knob upward/downward.
You can find further instructions in the Notes module on the right-hand side.
Why not try adjusting some knobs, (re-)patching some cables or adding/removing some modules?

At this point, you are ready to learn the rest of the Fundamental modules to build your own unique patches.
I personally recommend that you attempt to push the Fundamental modules to their limits before moving on to other official or third-party plugins.
