User Manual

38 ARTURIA – Analog Laboratory – USER’S MANUAL
The tool bar allows you to see or have access to:
SAVE Save changes to the current USER program.
SAVE AS Saving programs. This function allows the user to save a sound
program that has been modified, including giving it a new name.
This new program will then be a USER program, not a FACTORY
program. When one chooses the “Save As” function, a window
opens allowing the user to name and classify the new program
according to TYPE and CHARACTERISTICS).
So that the foundations of the instrument remain intact, it is not possible to
save or delete a Factory preset (Presets that come installed with the software).
However, the Save As function allows the modification and saving of a Preset
under another name that the user chooses.
DELETE You can delete any USER program with this function.
