Initial Configuration

First Steps

Here are a few important steps to follow the very first time you use the app.

Configure Audio Device

Like most audio software, the first step is selecting the audio device and channels you will use.

Open Tools > Options, then select the correct device for both:

• Audio Input
• Audio Output

Configure MIDI Devices

Since Swar Performer is primarily designed for MIDI playback, you should enable any MIDI devices you plan to use.

At the bottom of the Audio Settings dialog, you will find the Active MIDI Inputs list. Check the devices you want to enable.

Next, open the MIDI Devices tab for additional configuration:

• Alias — Enter a clearer or more descriptive name for the device
• Include — Hide devices you do not plan to use
• Type — Select the appropriate device type

Once finished, click OK to close the Options dialog.

Scan Plugins

By default, Swar Performer is configured to use SwarPlug, but you may also want to use other virtual instruments or audio effects plugins.

To make plugins available inside the app:

1. Open Tools > Scan Plugins
2. Click Options
3. Select the plugin type you want to scan
4. Start the scan

You can repeat this process later for additional plugin types if needed.

Once completed, you should be ready to start using the software.

Activation

The app runs in trial mode for the first 30 days. If you have purchased the software, this is a good time to activate it using the serial number you received by email.

To activate:

1. Open Help > Activate/Deactivate
2. Enter or paste your serial number into the activation field
3. Press OK

Your software should now be fully activated.
