ARTURIA – ANALOG FACTORY - MANUAL

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

Factory Preset (Presets that come installed in the software). However, the Save As function allows the

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

3. SAVE: permits one to save a USER Preset.

4. DELETE: you can delete any USER preset with this function.

5. IMPORT: Permits the user to import a document containing the USER

Presets for Analog Factory (allowing you to add Presets from your

personal collection). The document referred to is called “*.afpresets”. To

import, click on IMPORT and then the local “*.afpresets” document in

your computer. If the document(s) being imported have 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.

6. 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 name.

NOTE: so that the foundation of Analog Factory remains intact, it is not possible to Import/Export Factory

Presets.

7. MIDI IN: light signaling MIDI activity (will illuminate when a note from

an external MIDI controller or keyboard is pushed)

8. Channel Select: this drop-down menu offers the channel choice from

which Analog Factory receives MIDI information. Default is OMNI

(responds to data on all MIDI channels).

9. TUNE: general settings for the tuning of Analog Factory. This allows the

user to finely tune the general tuning of the instrument.

10. VIEW: choose the view of the interface. The selection buttons offer the

choice to View all of Analog Factory, only the Preset manager, or only the

Keyboard.

3.3 Using Preset Manager

Presets account for the various sounds of Analog Factory: there are 2000! 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 2000 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 Charactericticss. Let us take a moment

to look at each.
