Exploring the factory presets
The browser on the left of the Ultra Analog interface is similar to the browser your operating
system generates to display the contents of your hard disk, or your email program uses to organize
your mail and address book. When launching the application for the first time, this “tree view” will
include a destination folder for imported presets as well as different folders containing different
categories of factory presets. To open a folder, click on the “
+
” symbol which will reveal the
folder content. To load a preset, double-click on a preset icon (blue knob).
The Browser makes it easy to organize presets in whatever manner you choose. To create a
new preset folder, click in the browser to select this region of the interface, and choose New Folder
from the File menu. You can now save new presets in this folder or copy or move existing presets
to this folder by dragging preset icons from one folder to the other or using the Copy and Paste
commands from the Edit menu.

Using MIDI Links
Every parameter on the Ultra Analog interface can be linked to an external MIDI controller. To
assign a MIDI Link, right-click (control-click on Mac) on a control (knob, button or slider) and a
contextual menu will appear. Select Learn MIDILink and move a knob or slider on your MIDI
controller to activate the link. To deactivate the link, right-click on the control and choose the
Forget MIDILink command.

Using MIDI program changes
MIDI program changes have been assigned to a selection of factory presets. The factory library
can therefore be explored using MIDI program changes.

Using Ultra Analog as a Plug-in
The Ultra Analog integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and
sequencing environments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The Ultra Analog works as any other
plug-in in these environments so we recommend that you refer to your sequencer documentation
in case you have problems running the Ultra Analog as a plug-in.
