That is correct Commander.

well - youâve at least learned that backing up is imperative if you create your own sounds
and in all likelihood as you probably shouldnât have acquired some of those sounds youâve not actually lost that much
for sure - weâre just mindful on policing that, it doesnât just impact on Elektron, itâs a bit more embarrassing if their partners can sense piracy is condoned on the official forum
thanks for understanding

summing up: when 1 person buys new elektron analog four, elektron gives you the full banks from a to a p? but the banks after b are part of the sounds for analog but they are not from the factory and if you lose them you can no longer recover right?
No. A brand new A4 has 2 X banks. A and B. Anything in banks C and onwards are either purchased soundpacks (that cannot be sold on/transferred to another party) or user created, that have been added afterwards
When performing a Factory reset, the A4 is returned to itâs factory state i.e Banks A and B. All other content is erased permanently, with no way of retrieval.

wow ⌠then the contents of the banks from c to p were inserted (extra not by factory) by the old owner of my analog 4 ?? if so I havenât lost anything of fabrica elektro sounds benches right?
youâve not lost any factory content, itâs impossible to lose it permanently - a factory reset will restore project 1 including kits patterns soundpool etc and reinstate factory sounds onto bank A & Bank B - a factory reset does not erase projects 2 onwards
if you format the +drive you will wipe everything, all projects and all sounds ⌠from there if you do a factory reset project 1 is restored and sounds on banks a and b are returned

Correct. Obviously âfactory resetâ doesnât lose factory sounds! It restores them. The factory sounds fill banks A and B. Everything else is not a factory sound.
The manual makes that pretty clear:
When performing a factory reset on the Analog Four MKII it will overwrite and re-initialize the active project (including all pattern, kit, sound pool and global data). The +Drive project slot 1 will be overwritten and re-initialized. Sound bank A and B will be overwritten with the factory Sounds. Factory preset patterns, kits, Sounds and settings will be re-initialized.
You did read the manual before doing it, right?
No. When you buy it new, only banks A and B contain sounds.
Yes.

And just want to add⌠other userâs presets and patterns from used gear may seem nice, but it absolutely opens up a legal mess.
Did they create the presets, and if so, did they explicitly include their presets as part of the sale? What about their patterns? They came up with those songs and sounds, and may not have intended to transfer them along with the hardware.
Did they get the patches from sample packs, and if so were they transferable? Any sample packs bought on the Elektron store are non-transferable, for example.
If these were not clarified, then you end up on shaky legal ground using them. I highly recommend anyone that buys something used to factory restore it to get around any of these issues. So see this as a bit of a blessing, aside from anything that you lost that you created yourself!

thanks for the help to all !! yesterday I could no longer send messages because I had sent too many! and elektron website gives you a maximum of about 20 messages per day, I am very happy that my analog 4 works very well and in reality I have not lost anything original (factory bank a, b) because the other banks from c, d, and , f, g, and so on are just extra ⌠and later I will buy some (bank extra) I will build some, and some for free too ⌠thanks âŚ
