1.4 Getting started

The Ultra Analog comes with a wide range of factory presets right out of the box which amounts to

a huge range of sounds before you have even turned a single knob. As you would expect, the best

way of coming to grips with the possibilities Ultra Analog offers is simply to go through the presets

one at a time. We recommend that you ﬁrst start using the Ultra Analog in standalone mode.

Using Ultra Analog in standalone mode

• Windows - Double-click on the Ultra Analog icon located on your desktop or select Ultra

Analog from the Start > All Programs > menu.

• Mac OS - Double-click on the Ultra Analog icon located in the Applications folder.

Before you start exploring the factory presets, take a moment to set up you audio and MIDI

conﬁguration as explained below.

Audio Conﬁguration

This menu allows you to select from the installed audio ports on your computer, by driver type.

If you have ASIO drivers available, these should be selected for optimum performance. Multi-

channel interfaces will have their outputs listed as stereo pairs.

• Windows - Select your sound card port from the list in the Audio Conﬁguration dialog

from the Edit > Preferences > Audio Settings ... menu.

• Mac OS - Select your audio device from the list in the Audio Settings dialog from the Ultra

Analog > Preferences > Audio Settings ... menu.
