ARTURIA – Analog Laboratory – USER’S MANUAL 43
Edit Preset window
PRESET NAME The name of the current preset. Click in here to change the
preset Name.
TYPE The name of the virtual instrument (Bass, Brass, Pad, Lead, etc.)
CHARACTERISTICS This is where one defines the sound via the list of adjectives
available (simply click in the boxes corresponding to the 18
possible options: Bright, Dark, Aggressive, Quiet, Hard, Soft,
etc.). These characteristics will be taken into account when the
Characteristics filter is used.
For instance, if one saves a preset with 'Simple' checked, then
when searching for a Simple preset using the Characteristic filter,
the preset will appear in the preset list along with the other
Simple presets.
PITCH BEND
RANGE
Chooses by how many semitones a played note will be shifted (up
or down) when the Pitch Bend wheel of Analog Laboratory is
used. Any pitch bend message received by an external sequencer
of keyboard will also affect Analog Laboratory's pitch bend.
POLYPHONY Allows the user to choose the number of available voices for the
current preset, between 1 and 32 voices.
To the right there is an additional drop down menu that allows
you to specify whether the preset is in mono (one voice), unison
(multiple voices only on the same note) or poly (multiple
simultaneous notes).
Adding Polyphony increases the richness of a preset because
many notes can be played at once, but also augments CPU load.
SEQ. STEP SIZE If the Preset uses a sequencer, then this option allows the user to
adjust the step size of the preset internal sequencer. T is the
Time base, and when an option with * is selected, the rate of the
sequencer is multiplied. When an option with / is selected, the
rate becomes a subdivision of the initial T. For instance, “T*2”
means “twice the tempo”.
LFO MIDI SYNC If the preset contains an LFO, this option enables external
syncing for tempo-matched LFO variations.
Clicking “Save” on the bottom right hand side validates the modified options, saves them
to the preset and brings back the Identity Card Sound Details screen.
