3.3.3.1. Instrument
“Instrument” refers to one of the 4 instruments from which Analog Factory draws its sound. The
instruments include:
• Moog Modular V
• CS-80 V
• minimoog V
• Arp 2600 V
If, for example, one clicks on CS-80 V, the Preset Manager will provide a list of presets uniquely
from the CS-80 V. But one can also chose to browse for more than one Instrument; that means the
user can look for sounds from CS-80 V and ARP2600 V at the same time by selecting both
instruments in the “Instrument” frame. When no Instruments are selected for preset filtering, then
the Manager will either automatically list all presets or list presets based on other filters.
All presets are listed to the immediate right of the filters under Preset Name.
3.3.3.2. Type
“Type” refers to instrument type being synthesized. Just as in the above example, one may select
only “Type” to have access to the list below:
• Bass
• Pad
• Lead
• EFX (sound effect)
• FM
• Brass
• Percussive
• Sequence
• Strings
• Guitar
• Organ
• Piano
As with the Instrument filter, one can choose one or more Types of presets. By selecting only
BASS, the user will be given a list that contains only bass presets, and if one chooses BASS and
STRINGS both Types will be provided.
The user may also search deeper by selecting and combining the different filters. For example, one
may choose BASS, PAD, and STRINGS under the Type filter and MOOG MODULAR V and ARP2600 V
in the Instruments filter. The Preset Manager will then offer a list fulfilling only the above criteria.
3.3.3.3. Characteristics
To further filter the choices, there is a third filter offered. “Characteristics” allows the user to
choose presets according to a mood or ambiance. The choices available are as follows:
• Bright
• Dark
• Aggressive
• Quiet
• Hard
• Soft
• Complex
• Simple
• Short
• Long
• Bizarre
• Acid
• Ambient
• Digital
• Ensemble
• Noise
• SoundTrack
• Fun
Once again, these filters can be applied either individually or in any combination that the user
wishes in order to find the ideal presets.
3.3.3.4. Entries Found
This number, found at the bottom right of the Preset Manager, indicates the amount of Presets that
correspond to a preset search.
