PROJECT
A project contains 128 patterns, 128 kits, 16 songs, 4 global slots, and a project Sound pool consisting of up to 128 Sounds.
Generic settings and states (tempo, mutes, et cetera) are also stored in each project. When a project is loaded it becomes
the active working state of the Analog Keys. From here it is possible to edit the patterns, kits, songs and globals of the
project. The Analog Keys always retains the active working state, i.e. the active project. Projects are saved, loaded and
managed in the
GLOBAL
menu, accessed by pressing

.
KIT
Kits contain up to four Sounds, one for each synth track, as well as settings for the FX and CV tracks. Each project of the
Analog Keys can host 128 kits. A kit is always linked to a pattern.
SOUND
A Sound consists of stored synth track parameter settings. Each synth track hosts one Sound. Sounds can also be stored
in the Sound pool of the active project or in the +Drive Sound library. The Sound pool can host 128 Sounds and the +Drive
library holds up to 4096 sounds. Sounds are loaded to the kit from either the
SOUND BROWSER
or S
OUND MANAGER
menus. Access these menus by pressing
[SOUND]
.
BANK
Eight banks exist for each project and each bank hosts 16 patterns.
PATTERN
For each of the 8 banks 16 patterns are available, meaning 128 patterns are always readily availble. A pattern consists of
sequencer data like trigs, parameter locks, time signature and individual track lengths for the synth tracks and the FX
and CV tracks. They also contain the BPM setting as well as
ARP
and
NOTE
page settings.
SONG
16 songs are available for each project. They are used to sequence the playback of patterns. Songs are built from chains.
CHAINS
A chain is a sequence of patterns. Up to 256 pattern slots are possible to allocate between 64 chains.
GLOBAL
The
GLOBAL
menu contains project management, settings for the synth and sequencer, Analog Keys
MIDI

ing custom mapping of the
