3.3.4.2. The wheels
The wheels found on the left side of the virtual keyboard, give the user control over the frequency
of the sound (“PITCH”) and the modulation rate (“MOD”).
PITCH BEND
Wheel controlling the pitch of the tone. When
pushed in the up direction, the sound “bends” and
becomes higher in tune. When pushed in the Down
direction, the sound “bends” and becomes lower in
tune.
MOD WHEEL Wheel controlling modulation (MIDI controller #1)
3.3.4.3. Filter
CUTOFF
Modifies the cut-off frequency: this filter has the ability to make
the sound more or less bright by controlling the amount of high
frequencies
RESO
Modifies the resonance of the filter: the sound becomes more
“cutting” when the parameter is pushed
3.3.4.4. LFO
The LFO, Low Frequency Oscillator, is used as a modulation source for Analog Factory’s sound. It
allows the user to create variations in a sound parameter to generate diverse effects such as a
vibrato, “wahwah” effect, etc. The two parameters that may be modulated within the LFO are:
RATE
Knob setting the LFO rate/speed
AMOUNT
Knob setting for the amount of LFO modulation
3.3.4.5. Key Parameters
The key parameters section will prove to be particularly useful. This section is found in the middle
of the Keyboard View and labeled with the aforementioned name.
Key parameters
Each preset offers the four most pertinent parameters unique to that preset. Our sound designers
have taken the greatest care to assign parameters that will enrich and give depth to the sound of
each preset. In this way, only the parameters that are the most beneficial when
modifying/tweaking a given sound are available, facilitating the production process.
To know which 4 parameters have been selected for each preset, simply drop an eye just above the
virtual keyboard: 4 information blocks teach you the parameter affected to each controller, with
their respective colors:
