Instrument architecture
Hybrid Factory is a two-layer instrument. You can load a different sample set into each layer, and
apply effects independently to each layer. You can also switch off either layer, to create a sound that
uses only one layer, or to audition sample sets in isolation.
Sample sets in Hybrid Factory are referred to as Elements. These Elements are grouped into eight
Banks. Each Bank contains eight Elements. So there are 64 Elements from which to choose:
