Using the Preset Manager
Presets account for the various sounds of Analog Factory: there are 3500! A preset
contains all the settings information of the different controllers necessary to reproduce a
sound. In Analog Factory, there are various ways in which the Presets are classified and
filtered in order to simplify preset management and find the appropriate sounds for a song;
one won’t have to search 3500 presets to find the desired sound. These filters are listed on
the left of the Preset Manager Menu and presented as follows: Instrument, Type, and
Characteristics. Let us take a moment to look at each.
