The Gli switch turns the glide effect on or off. This is used to make the pitch slide between notes
rather than changing immediately. With Legato enabled, the sliding will only occur if the second
note is played before the first note is released. The Time slider sets the overall speed of the slide.
Turning on the glide effect enables an additional Glide Mode chooser in the display. Selecting
Const causes the glide time to be constant regardless of interval. Choosing Prop (proportional)
causes the glide time to be proportional to the interval between the notes. Large intervals will
glide slower than small intervals.
The Keyboard section in the display contains all of Analog’s polyphony and tuning parameters.
The Voices chooser sets the available polyphony, while Priority determines which notes will be
cut off when the maximum polyphony is exceeded. When Priority is set to High, new notes that
are higher than currently sustained notes will have priority, and notes will be cut off starting from
the lowest pitch. Low is the opposite. A Priority setting of Last gives priority to the most recently
played notes, cutting off the oldest notes as necessary.
The Octave, Semi and Tuning controls function as coarse and fine tuners. Octave transposes the
entire instrument by octaves, while Semi transposes up or down in semitone increments. The Tun-
ing slider adjusts in increments of one cent (up to a maximum of 50 cents up or down).
PB Range sets the range in semitones of pitch bend modulation.
Stretch simulates a technique known as stretch tuning, which is a common tuning modification
made to electric and acoustic pianos. At 0%, Analog will play in equal temperament, which
means that two notes are an octave apart when the upper note’s fundamental pitch is exactly
twice the lower note’s. Increasing the Stretch amount raises the pitch of upper notes while lower-
ing the pitch of lower ones. The result is a more brilliant sound. Negative values simulate “nega-
tive“ stretch tuning; upper notes become flatter while lower notes become sharper.
The Error slider increases the amount of random tuning error applied to each note.
The four Quick Routing buttons in the left side of the display provide an easy way to quickly set
up common parameter routings. The upper left option configures a parallel routing structure,
with each oscillator feeding its own filter and amplifier exclusively. The upper right button is simi-
lar, but the oscillators each split their output evenly between the two filters. The bottom left op-
tion feeds both oscillators into Filter 1 and Amp 1, disabling Filter 2 and Amp 2 entirely. Finally,
the bottom right option configures a serial routing structure, with both oscillators feeding Filter 1,
which is then fed exclusively to Filter 2 and Amp 2.
