THE USER INTERFACE

THE USER INTERFACE
The center of Analog Four editing is the LCD display. The main interface screen is shown below:
7
1. Bar indicating the overall volume level of the active track.
2. The current tempo displayed with one decimal.
3. The playback/recording status of the sequencer shown by the standard "record", "play", "pause" and "stop"
symbols; , , and
has played is located.
4. Information about which PARAMETER page is active. The line above the text indicates the active sub page
of the PARAMETER page. A fully drawn line means no sub page is available.
5. Up to ten track parameters. They show what the DATA ENTRY knobs control and also indicate the current
parameter values.
6. The currently active pattern. To the left the active song row is visible. A "_ _:" representation indicates the
scratch pad row is active.
7. The currently active kit. When turning a DATA ENTRY knob, the full name of the parameter being adjusted
is shown here.
•
All windows can be closed using the [NO/RELOAD] key.
•
Buttons or knobs not used by an active menu retain their original function. For example, the
TEMPO menu makes use of the LEVEL knob, but you can still use the DATA ENTRY knobs to con-
trol the parameters of the track in focus.

PARAMETER EDITING

The DATA ENTRY knobs are used to change the value of the track parameters. The physical location of the
knobs on the front panel correspond to the layout of the parameters on the screen.

QUICK PARAMETER EDITING

If the DATA ENTRY knob is pressed down while being turned parameters will be adjusted in larger increments.
This makes it much quicker to sweep through a whole parameter range.

PARAMETER VALUE SKIP

Keeping [FUNCTION] pressed while editing certain parameters will make the parameter values jump to relevant
positions. For instance the delay time of Saturator Delay, which will jump between 16, 32, 64 and 128, or the
oscillator tuning, which will jump in octaves.
