First Launch
Manual for Hex Composer v0.18.0. This is an archived snapshot. Corrections can be suggested on the current version of this page.
Launch Hex Composer. It opens into a working docked layout, not a blank window:
Output fills the center, Module sits in the panel on the right, and
Chain and Patches share one tabbed bar across the bottom. Modulation
is docked as a second tab beside Module but starts closed; open it from
View > Modulation and it lands there.
Expect Output to already show something. A first launch starts from one
default OSC module already in the chain, not an empty patch.
Mixer Mode has its own windows (Mixer, Deck A, Deck B, Mixer Preview).
They stay hidden until F3 turns Mixer Mode on. Stay in the default,
non-Mixer layout for the rest of this section.
Next: Load a Factory Patch.
