9. PROJECTS

A project is the top level of the Analog Rytm MKII workﬂow. A project contains 128 patterns, 128 kits, and 16

songs,

4 global slots, and a project Sound pool consisting of up to 128 Sounds. Projects are handy when, for exam-

ple, you want to save a speciﬁc setup for a live performance or when managing a select number of compo-

sitions. The +Drive can store 128 projects.

When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of Analog Rytm MKII, independent of the

+Drive. Analog Rytm MKII keeps track of what project slot the active project was loaded from. It is possible

to edit the patterns, kits, songs, and globals of a loaded project.

Within an active project, all changes made are automatically remembered by the Analog Rytm MKII, let-

ting you switch back and forth between patterns and kits and edit the patterns, kits, and parameters in

any order you like without the need to save each adjustment manually. Patterns, the active kit Sounds, and

settings, songs and globals are remembered even after the power is turned o. However, regarding kits (the

main entity for editing and collectively storing a complete set of Sounds and eects), when the Analog Rytm

MKII is switched o, only the settings of the active kit are preserved. If for example, the kit linked to pattern

1 is edited (kit A), another pattern is selected and its kit edited (kit B) and then the power is turned o, only

the changes to kit B (the most recent active kit) will be remembered. We highly recommend that you specif-

ically save the kits you have been working on manually using the quick command [YES] + [PLAY MODE].

Find out more about kits in the section “10. KITS AND SOUNDS” on page 26.

Project changes are not automatically written to the +Drive. To store the active working state of the project

to a +Drive slot, the project needs to be saved manually. See below on how to load and save projects.

9.1 PROJECT MENU

Projects are managed in the PROJECT menu, located in the GLOBAL SETTINGS menu. Open the GLOBAL

SETTINGS menu by pressing [GLOBAL SETTINGS].

Scroll through the list by using [UP]/[DOWN] or the TRACK LEVEL knob and select PROJECT. Open the

menu by pressing [YES].

LOAD PROJECT opens a project selection screen where you choose a project to be loaded. Note that

the active project will not be saved before loading the new project. This menu can be accessed directly

by pressing and holding [GLOBAL SETTINGS] for a little while. If you wish to create a new project, select

CREATE NEW at the very bottom of the list. The new project will be a blank slate.
