PROJECTS
A project is the top level structure of Analog Keys. 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, you want
to save a specific setup for a live performance or when managing a select number of compositions. The +Drive
can store 128 projects.
When a project is loaded it becomes the active working state of Analog Keys, independent of the +Drive. Analog
Keys will keep track of what project slot the active project was loaded from. When a project is loaded it is possi-
ble to edit its patterns, kits, songs, and globals. The active project and any changes made to it are automatically
remembered by Analog Keys, 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 automatically
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] + [SONG].
Scroll through the list by using [UP]/[DOWN] or the SOUND SELECTION wheel 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] + [SONG] 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.
SAVE PROJECT opens a project selection screen where you choose a slot to save the active project to.
