Psycle essentials guide

 This is a short guide to Psycle, a barely maintained tracker style DAW for those who still play the old way.

I won't go into depths of what Version you want. Both are good. So if you want either the 32 bit or 64 eithers fine.

The newest version seems to have a virus and is marked as alpha. It works and has fixes for some VSTs, but it's also an alpha and I've had problems rendering sound, so get the previous beta version for now.

Use the installer and set your plugin directory. You'll also need to grab Polacs VST3 wrapper so you can use the latest instruments, unless you want VST 2 only. They'll be split into either synths and effects (unless it's the alpha, then it's all in one) with VST3s showing as VST3 synth name.

Oh and one final thing. Version your work. Make a folder where your track is saved and every time you save put it as a new track, Track 1, 2, 3, and so on, as it has a habit of crashing when loading (and sometimes while you work).

I'll add links and stuff over time, but it should be all you need yo get started.
