4.4.5 Key parameters

The key parameters section will prove to be particularly useful. This section is found in the middle of the Keyboard View and labeled with the aforementioned name (Key Parameters).

Key parameters

Each preset offers the four most pertinent parameters unique to that preset. Our sound designers have taken the greatest care to assign parameters that will enrich and give depth to the sound of each preset. In this way, only the parameters that are the most beneficial when modifying/tweaking a given sound are available, facilitating the production process.

To know which 4 parameters have been selected for each preset, one can simply point the mouse over a Key Parameter knob and an information block will appear specifying the parameter name.

4.4.6 FX MIX (Effects Mix)

Analog Factory 2.5 also carries a simple yet efficient effects section. The two effects, Chorus and Delay, are automatically synchronized to the tempo of a piece in the user’s sequencer. If in spite of this the user wishes to access more advanced effects, they are available in most sequencer programs (Cubase, Garage Band, Pro Tools, to name just a few).

FX MIX

CHORUS The Chorus effect permits one to double and detune the sound in order to make it deeper and richer. The Chorus MIX controls the amount of Chorus applied to the original sound, making it more wet or dry.

DELAY The Delay carries an echo effect (repetition of the sound) that gives space to the tone. The speed of these repetitions is automatically synchronized to MIDI tempo (the tempo of a song in the host sequencer). The user can simply adjust the Delay MIX knob to control the quantity of the effect.
