	Welcome to Redux. This introduction will familiarise you with the main components of the user interface and explain their basic functions. Redux has taken the [[Sampler]] ~~and~~ [[Phrase Editor]] features from Renoise and made them available as a plugin. So while there is a lot of crossover between the two programs, not everything in this manual is necessarily relevant to Redux. Use the blue text links on this page to move on to other useful pages.
