So that the foundation of the instrument remain intact, it is not possible to save or delete a

Factory preset (that comes installed in the software). However, the “Save As” function allows the

modification and saving of a preset under another name that the user chooses.

SAVE

document referred to is called “*.afpresets”. To import, click on IMPORT and

then the local “*.afpresets” document in your computer. If the document being

imported has the same name as existing presets, the following options will

appear: Duplicate, Replace or Skip. “Duplicate” leaves two presets with the same

name listed in the Preset Manager. “Replace” will replace the current preset with

the same name with that of the one being imported. “Skip” will stop the new

preset from being imported.

EXPORT

Choose this function to export USER Presets. Click on “Export”, choose the

destination of the “*.afpresets” document which will be created, and give it a

3.3.3. Using Preset Manager

Presets account for the various sounds of Analog Factory: there are 250! A preset contains all the

settings information of the different controllers necessary to reproduce a sound. In Analog Factory,

there are various ways in which the Presets are classed and filtered in order to simplify preset

management and find the appropriate sounds for a song; one won’t have to search 250 presets to

find the desired sound. These filters are listed on the left of the Preset Manager menu and

presented as follows: Instrument, Type, and Characteristics.

Let’s take a moment to look at each.
