! Any Presets you’ve deleted in AstroLab will also be deleted in Analog Lab when you sync the two.
Factory Presets will not be deleted.
4.2.3.5. Keyboard Settings
If your current Preset only has 1 Part, only the Part 1 tab will be seen.
• Part 1: Here you can set the Low Note and High Note limits, MIDI input channel,
and Octave and Semitone Transpose. There are also switches that let you decide
if Part 1 will be affected by Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, Sustain and
Expression Pedal or not.
• Part 2: Same as above, but for Part 2.
• Inverse Split: This option swaps the positions of Parts 1 and 2. Any keyboard split
settings will remain the same, i.e., Part 1 will now have Part 2’s range and vice-
versa.
4.2.3.6. Info
• Name: Here you can rename the current Preset.
• Type: The type of Instrument used for this Preset can be seen here. The Type can
also be changed. Example: If you edit a piano to make it sound like an organ,
you may want to refer to this Preset as an organ.
• Comment: Just like in Analog Lab, you will find some additional info about the
Preset here, written by its creator.
4.2.4. Splitting the Keyboard
AstroLab handles splits in a very straightforward manner.
• If you're using a Multi Preset and the Split button is not engaged, Parts 1 and 2 in
a Multi are layered across the entire range of AstroLab’s keyboard.
• Press Split to split the keyboard, with Part 1 in the lower zone and Part 2 in the
upper zone. The default split point is C3. This can be changed later (see next
section).
• Hold Shift and press Split and select Inverse Split to swap the zones of Parts 1
and 2.
4.2.4.1. Setting the Split Point
To set or change the Split point, hold the Split button and strike a key. An LED above the key
will indicate the upper limit of each zone: green for Part 1 and orange for Part 2.
