30 ARTURIA – Analog Laboratory – USER’S MANUAL
We are going to continue with our “Electro_4A” preset example. To modify the two
Upper and Lower parts, we will once again use the Controls and Envelope sections of the
Virtual Keyboard, that includes 10 Control knobs and 8 Envelope faders to allow you to
tweak a preset to your specific taste.
Controls and Envelope section for tweaking
Thanks to the Kbd portion of the virtual keyboard (on the left hand side of the above
screen) you can choose whether the parameters of the Controls and Envelope portions
are those of the Upper or Lower part.
Kbd: choose which sound (Upper or Lower) receives the Controls and Envelope parameters
Let's say you want more resonating, acid Bass sound for the Lower Part, and longer
notes in the Upper Part.
To make the Lower part a little more acid, we first need to make sure the Controls and
Envelopes are those of the Lower part by clicking on “Lower” in the Kbd section (see
screen shot above). Once you've clicked on “Lower”, you are set to acidify this part's
sound by bringing up the “Resonance” of the preset filter in the Controls section. It
should now sound acid and look like this:

Now we can take care of the Upper part. We'll need to head back to the Kbd section and
this time click on “Upper”. Note than when you click on upper, all of the knobs and
faders change because they now correspond to the Upper sound instead of the Lower
sound.
