Tool Bar
The tool bar consists of a set of essential icons, organized from left to right, allowing the
user to see or have access to:
PRESET NAME
INSTRUMENT TYPE
Name of the current preset, name of the Instrument, and the Type
of instrument.
SAVE AS
Saving Presets (sound programming). This function allows the user
to save a preset which has been modified, including giving it a new
name. This new preset will be a USER Preset and not a FACTORY
Preset (which cannot be modified). When one chooses the “Save As”
function, a window opens allowing the user to name and classify the
new preset 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.
SAVE
Save changes to the current USER Preset.
DELETE
You can delete any USER preset with this function.
IMPORT
Permits the user to import a document containing the USER Presets
for Analog Factory (allowing you to add Presets to your personal
collection). The document referred to is called “*.afpresets”. To
import, click on IMPORT and then the local “*.afpresets” document
in your computer. If the document(s) being imported have the same
name as existing Presets, the following options will appear:
“Duplicate” leaves two presets with the same name listed in the
Preset Manager.
“Replace” will replace the current preset with the same name
with that of the one being imported.
“Skip” will stop the new preset from being imported.
EXPORT
Choose this function to export USER Presets. Click on “Export”,
choose the destination of the “*.afpresets” document which will be
created, and give it a name.
So that the foundation of Analog Factory remains intact, it is not possible to
