## Launch
Now, you may do one of the following:
- Open the standalone juicysfplugin.app

**Load a soundfont**

Here's some soundfonts to get you started:
- MuseScore's [recommended soundfonts](https://musescore.org/en/handbook/soundfonts-and-sfz-files#list) (includes MIT, GPL, other licenses)

### How do I setup the standalone .app
## Keybindings
Gain keyboard focus by clicking the plugin's keyboard.
- Up-down arrow keys to switch preset.
- Left-right to switch bank.
ASCII -> MIDI keybinding is the same as FL Studio's:
