When you perform a factory reset on Analog Keys or Analog Four, the following happens:

  • Project slot 001 will be overwritten and re-initialized with the factory preset project.
  • The currently loaded project will be cleared and the factory preset project will be loaded to memory.
  • Soundbanks A and B will be overwritten with the factory preset sounds.


The remaining project slots and sound banks will not be overwritten.


If you wish to keep the active project, remember to save it to a project slot higher than 001 before you perform the factory reset. If you have saved your own sounds to soundbanks A or B, you need to move them to a different bank if you want to keep them.
