Getting started

Open a demo and try it within a minute. A demo is a finished app made in RISR. Then look at how it's made and change anything.

Before you start

1
Open a demo. Tap Projects and assets, the folder at the top right, then Templates. If you don't see the folder, tap … there instead, then Templates. Under Start from a demo, tap Start on Kungjak KJ-16, a beat machine. If you have templates of your own, it's below them.

It opens as a new project of your own, in Live mode, the full-screen view for using what you've made.

Turn on the engine, which makes RISR's sound. RISR stays silent until you do: in Live mode, tap the R at the top left so it turns gold. Then tap Play, the round button at the bottom left.
