How to use the trial version: download and install the main application (VST plugin and Standalone). If you bought a license prior to installing, you can directly authorize your copy within the installer. By installing just the main application you'll have access to five of the six sound engines. If you also wish to test some samples, download and install the samplepacks. The sampled instruments have to be copied in [APP FOLDER]\GSinstruments\. You can choose a different location and set the appropriate path in the Global Options Menu.
The instrument comes with no factory presets, so probably you won't hear any sound coming from the Organ and the Synth sections, unless you prepare your sounds. Please refer to the manual for this.
DEMO LIMITATIONS: the software shows a reminder screen at the beginning. Click “RUN DEMO” to start using the demo version. It will play for 10 minutes, after that the reminder screen will appear again, the sound will be muted and the RUN DEMO button will be disabled. Saving single programs or banks is also disabled in Demo mode.
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE MANUAL!
