The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Another method of producing 'warmth' I use on the AN1X and on some other synths is to have a guitar type overdrive/distortion set at a really low drive and have a high shelving eq (around 800hz-2khz) to cut out the nasty high end frequencies with a little boost around 200hz. This gives a kinda pseudo valve warmth.

 brutality of this MOnSTer underestimated synth. This kinda cold,
 glassy, cutting EDGE outshines everything. To give those sounds back
 some "bottom" I (miss)use the VCA-feedback. 
 Something that helps ME programming is: I no longer try to make sounds
 work on 5 oktaves, when I need only 2. Thus keyboard-tracking, which
 could eat up DAYS on a DX7, no longer matters.
