OVERVIEW OF THE ANALOG FOUR STRUCTURE
The image below outlines the data structure of the Analog Four.
+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 gives access to 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 the Analog Four. From here it is possible to edit the pat-
terns, kits, songs and globals of the project. The Analog Four 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 section “PROJECTS” on page 12.
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 Four project. Each pattern is linked to a kit. Read more in section “KITS AND
SOUNDS” on page 14.
