3.3.7 Organisation

In addition to the Preset Filters that help the user easily search and select among the

200 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. 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 S.E. (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 S.E.. The

more the knob is turned to the right the higher the output level is raised.
