Create New Instrument Document
For registered users, PolyPhontics GB launches and creates a new document by default. For unregistered users, PolyPhontics GB displays a welcome screen, and a new document upon dismissal of the welcome screen. You can also create a new document by selecting File->New.
The titlebar of the Instrument Document displays Instrument Editor to indicate that you are editing instrument.
Name the Instrument
IMPORTANT: A PolyPhontics GB document contains the settings that make up a software instrument. Chief among these settings is the Instrument Title. Name your instrument something that is completely unique among your collection of software instruments. Keep in mind that the Instrument Title is a separate entity from the software instrument's file name that you will build later. The Instrument Title MUST be unique, because GarageBand will only display unique Instrument Titles. If multiple instruments share the same title, GarageBand will not make all of these instruments available until the naming issue is fixed.
Save an Instrument Document
In registered mode, you can save an Instrument Document for later use by clicking the Save button or by clicking File->Save. After you save an Instrument Document once, its filename appears in the titlebar.
