3.3.7 Organisation
In addition to the Preset Filters that help the user easily search and select among the
2000 various presets, there are also view options within the Preset Manager that
permit the user to choose how the presets are listed.
When the user selects the filter criteria, the list of Presets appears in a vertical column
in the middle of the screen under 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, Prophet 5 or Prophet VS. 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.
FAVORITES : (FAV) permits 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.
3.4 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.
3.4.1 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.
