3 First power on of GeonKick
First, check if you have the Geonkick LV2 plugin activated. Via webconf at https://zynthian.local go to the menu SOFTWARE / LV2-Plugins and then MIDI Synth. Select Geonkick and confirm the selection by clicking the SAVE button at the bottom of the page.
Now we can make chain with Geonkick since we will have it in the menu.
We must go to the main menu and select Add Synth Chain
In next step select Geonkick
After selection of midi channel you are in Zynthian UI of Geonkick
After back to main mixer page you see Geonkick without preset.
Now you need to set up to work in GeonKick's natural GUI
Turning on VNC check and SAVE button on the bottom of page in first
Zynthian restarts its UI.
Now it's time to work in the natural GUI of Geonkick
In webconf https://zynthian.local go to a menu Interface / VNC - Engines -> this opens a new window with connection to the Synth Engine Native GUIs. Click on Connect and fill password raspberry and push enter key.
