PRESET NAME
By default, the presets will be listed automatically in alphabetical order from A to Z
under Preset Name. However, if the user prefers, the presets can be arranged on
the screen according to other criteria in the adjacent columns:
INSTRUMENT
In this column, the name of the original instrument that produced the sound is
offered for each preset. Therefore, it will list among the following instruments:
minimoog, Moog Modular V, ARP 2600 V, CS-80 V. When the user clicks on the
title bar labeled Instrument, the columns will reorganize alphabetically under the
Instrument column.
TYPE
In this column, the TYPE of instrument appears corresponding to each preset. By
clicking at the top of the column on the TYPE title bar, the presets presented will
be listed alphabetically according to TYPE in the same column.
CPU
In this column, the CPU usage rate appears for each preset. By clicking the title
bar labeled CPU at the top of this column, the presets will be arranged on a scale
from 1 to 5. 1 represents a weak CPU usage rate while 5 represents a strong CPU
usage rate.
FAV
Favorites permit the user to classify presets according to usage or general
preference as one does in popular media players. Simply check one’s favorite
presets and access them by clicking the title bar at the top of the column. One
may also easily access the Favorites with the Favorites Filter Option.
3.3.4. Keyboard View
The Keyboard view of Analog Factory (accessed either by the “Keyboard” or “All” view in the
toolbar) gives the user access to both the virtual keyboard and all the controls with which the user
can modify the sound of the presets. We will take a moment now to look at those controls.
3.3.4.1. Virtual keyboard
The knob called “LEVEL” controls the general volume of Analog Factory. The more the knob is
turned to the right the higher the output level is raised.
The virtual keyboard visually presents 32 keys and allows one to produce the sounds of Analog
Factory without the need for an external master MIDI keyboard. With the aid of the TRANSPOSE
function found to the left of the virtual keyboard above the modulation wheels, the user may scroll
up or down the keyboard for notes in higher or lower ranges than is visually presented.
