ARTURIA – Analog Factory EXPERIENCE 2.5 – USER’S MANUAL 43
6.1.1 The keyboard
The Analog Factory Keyboard is a 32-key velocity sensitive keyboard controller, with
channel aftertouch.
6.1.2 Shift button
The Shift button can set the Analog Factory Keyboard in ‘Shift’ mode. When the button is
pushed it will call a secondary function you can’t get in the initial mode. This button lights
up when the ‘Shift’ mode is activated.
It will operate on the features:
Preset/Octave
Snapshot/save buttons
Level/search rotary encoder
See the following chapters for more details about their features.
6.1.3 Level/search rotary encoder
The “Level/Search” rotary encoder works either to set the volume of Analog Factory 2.5 or
to select synth types or characteristic criteria of the presets. It works in combination with
the Shift button.
When the ‘Shift’ mode is disabled, the “Level/Search” rotary encoder will set the volume
of the synth.
When the ‘Shift’ mode is enabled, the “Level/Search” rotary encoder will select synth
types or characteristics.
When you push on the encoder, it validates the search criteria for preset browsing using the
convenient preset managing system of Analog Factory 2.5.
It is important to realize that this encoder is different from the others as it offers a switch option. Clicking on
the encoder when in “Search” Mode allows selecting or unselecting search criteria.
6.1.4 Preset/octave buttons
These buttons have two functions (in combination with the shift button): the octave
transpose and the preset selection.
When the ‘Shift’ mode is disabled, the Preset/Octave buttons “+/-“will work as “Octave
up/down” buttons. You can increase (or decrease) by up to three octaves.
Pushing the minus or plus button makes the software transpose up to three octaves up or
down to set the preferred octave section.
Seven states of leds will help you to visually locate the current octave setting:
Octave -3 : led- blinks at speed 3, led+ does not blink
Octave -2 : led- blinks at speed 2, led+ does not blink
Octave -1 : led- blinks at speed 1, led+ does not blink
Octave 0 : led– and led+ don’t blink
