OVERVIEW OF THE ANALOG KEYS STRUCTURE
The image below outlines the data structure of Analog Keys.
+DRIVE
The +Drive is a non-volatile memory capable of storing up to 128 projects (thousands of patterns, kits and
songs) internally. The +Drive also contains the +Drive Sound library, with the capacity of storing 4096 Sounds.
Every project has access to these Sounds.
DATA STRUCTURE
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 pro-
ject is loaded it becomes the active working state of Analog Keys. From here it is possible to edit the patterns,
kits, songs and globals of the project. Analog Keys always retains the active working state, the active project,
even when switched off. However, it must be manually saved in a project slot before another project is loaded or
it will be lost. Projects are saved, loaded et cetera in the GLOBAL menu. Read more about projects in the sec-
tion “PROJECTS” on page 14.
KIT
Kits contain four Sounds, one for each synth track, and settings for the FX and CV tracks. Up to 128 kits are
available for each Analog Keys project. Each pattern is linked to a kit. Read more in section “KITS AND
SOUNDS” on page 16.
SOUND
A Sound consists of stored synth track parameter settings. Each synth track contains one Sound. Sounds can
be stored either in the Sound pool of the active project or in the +Drive Sound library. The Sound pool contains
128 Sounds and the +Drive library has the capacity of 4096 Sounds. Read more in section “KITS AND
SOUNDS” on page 16.
