1. Introduction to the Kangas Sound Editor/QI

The Kangas Sound Editor, and the sister program Kangas Sound Editor QI are designed to let you create sound-effects and music without needing great expertise in either of these areas. All that is required to get great results is a certain level of patience - good results do not necessarily come quickly - and a willingness to experiment.

We will now take a tour of the Kangas Sound Editor/QI, to help get you familiar with its features. This tutorial is designed to be read in ascending order of page numbers, a fair number of these pages make the assumption that you have read or at least skimmed the pages before.

You can navigate through the tutorial using the page numbers at the bottom to go to specific pages, or you can go backwards and forwards through the pages using the leftwards and rightwards facing Roo-and-joey buttons. It helps to have cookies enabled, as these are used for page navigation, and to remember which tutorial page you are on if you come back to it later.

At any point, you might find it helpful to try the Quick-start procedure to create a simple sound (p. 45)
