Using Preset Manager
Presets account for the various sounds of Analog Factory S.E.: there are 200 presets.
A preset contains all the settings information of the different controllers necessary to
reproduce a sound. In Analog Factory S.E., there are various ways in which the
Presets are classed and filtered in order to simplify preset management and find the
appropriate sounds for a song; one won’t have to search 200 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.
