**Audio-8:** Sends digital information, generated by plugins in your Rack, to your audio device / interface which is then converted into anolog information to be heard.

Adding additional modules can be done by right-clicking on an empty space on the rack or by pressing `<enter>`.

When you have more plugins added via your VCV account they will display once the module browser is opened. Filtering for specific modules can be done by searching or by clicking on indivdual tags.

When you have more plugins added via your VCV account they will display here once the module browser is opened. Filtering for specific modules can be done by searching or by clicking on indivdual tags.

You can move modules around by clicking and dragging an empty space on its panel. Additionally you can make room for another module in between two or more modules by pressing CTRL / CMD and clicking an empty space on the panel you want to move.

Open the module browser and add LFO-1 to the patch.

# Getting sound

The sound from VCO-1 or any oscillator is constantly playing in the background. In the default patch it is set up in such a way that you only hear sound when you want to. To get sound first select an audio device on the Audio-8 module, in my case it will be ASIO and my interface's device driver.

![Audio device](images/QS_AudioDevice.png)

The patch is already set up to take input from the keyboard and convert it into MIDI messages which are interpreted by the VCO-1 v/oct input. Once your sound driver is selected on Audio-8 pressing certain keys on your keyboard will simultaneously send a Gate signal to ADSR telling it to start and send the midi note information to VCO-1 telling it what key to play. Refer to this image to see which keys on the keyboard produce which notes.

If you have a midi keyboard installed on your system this can be selected in the list of devices from Midi-CV.

Continue adding more modules, such as VCO-1 and Mixer from the Fundamental plugin.

Continue adding more modules, such as LFO-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.
