4.2Tool Bar
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 Name of the current preset, name of the Instrument, and the Type INSTRUMENT 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
Import/Export Factory Presets.
