PROJECTS
A project is the top level structure of the Analog Four. A project contains 128 patterns, 128 kits, 16 songs, 4
global slots, and a project Sound pool consisting of up to 128 Sounds. Projects are handy when for example
wanting to save a specific setup for a live performance or for managing a select number of compositions. The
+Drive can store 128 projects.
When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of the Analog Four, independent of the +Drive.
Analog Four will keep track of what project slot the active project was loaded from. When a project is loaded it is
possible to edit its patterns, kits, songs, and globals. The active project and any changes made to it are automat-
ically remembered by the Analog Four, allowing you to edit patterns, kits et cetera, switch off the unit, switch it on
again and have everything sound as it did prior to the power cycling. Please note that changes are not automat-
ically written to the +Drive. To store the active working state of the project to a +Drive slot, the project needs to
be saved manually.
PROJECT MENU
Projects are managed in the PROJECT menu, located in the GLOBAL menu. Open the GLOBAL menu by
pressing [FUNCTION] + [KEYBOARD C2].
Scroll the list by using [UP]/[DOWN] or the LEVEL knob and select PROJECT. Open the menu by pressing
[YES/SAVE].
LOAD PROJECT opens a project selection screen where you choose a project to be loaded. Note that the
active project will not be saved before loading the new project. This menu can be accessed directly by pressing
and holding [FUNCTION] + [KEYBOARD C2] for a second. If you wish to create a new project, select CREATE
NEW at the very bottom of the list. The new project will be a blank slate.
