FX MIX (Effects Mix)
Analog Factory 2.0 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 none the less, 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 simply
has to adjust the Delay MIX knob to control the quantity of the effect.

ADSR faders
The “ADSR” envelope is composed of four successive sequential periods in the life of a note:
Attack time, Decay time, Sustain time, and the Release time.
ATTACK
: begins when a note is activated. The Attack time may be short and
dry (as in percussion) or long and ascending (as with a pad sound)
DECAY
: follows the Attack. The Decay is a period in which the amplitude of
the sound is reduced to the sustain level.
SUSTAIN
: the sustain of the note, as long as the note is active/held
RELEASE
: the end of the sound. The release can be short or stretch out over a
longer duration
Thanks to these 4 faders (A, D, S, and R) one can very simply edit the amplitude curve
envelope of each sound within Analog Factory. If, for example, one finds a sound pleasant
but the attack is too long, he can use the A fader to reduce it.
