The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi all

I just got a CS6x with a PLG150AN board and I am a little peturbed I can not access many parameters including arps without a PC (I am just re-setting up my studio and don't have the PC setup yet).  Has anyone tried using somthing like a Peavey 1600x fader unit, programmed to access the parameters not accessible from the front panel?

>Oh, I definitely intend to keep my An1x. It's a great board. I just don't have a lot of time to really learn how to program it, so for me the plg150an within the motif is a good alternative for the time being. In one sense, I find basic editing of the plug in voices easier than on the AN1x. That's probably due in part to my inexperience with synth programming...
