Hi,
Im not sure about a text file as it would probably take longer to type out than programming the sounds themselves (and it was a few weeks back now) but as promised Ive uploaded a preset for the Doepfer Drehbank which I used to program all the Jarre sounds apart from the mod matrix and eq.
The Drehbank already comes with some sysex presets for the AN1X (mode 1) but the layout was quite bad so Ive reassigned the sound parameters for normal MIDI CC (mode 2) apart from the filter sustain and release which Yamaha have forgot to give a CC assignment for some reason. Ive also colour coded my Drehbank front panel; each VCO, the mod/FM/LFO, the filter/filter env and VCA/polyphony parameters all with separate colours so its a little easier to navigate around the 64 knobs.
One good preset that did come with the Drehbank was for sysex control of the step sequencer which Ive copied/pasted for use in bank B. The four rows of 16 knobs really works well for handling all the parameters as they would be on a proper analogue step sequencer. Unfortunately theres no step lights but I start will all knobs at zero and work my way from there. Having a groovebox with grid lights synced alongside can also help. Holding down a key on the AN1X set to external MIDI sync before pressing play on your main MIDI clock source will ensure synced playback.
The pitch range can be a little sensitive with one knob over the full octave range but I think this can be edited in the Drehbank software so watch this space.
I find it best to get your sound programmed first then start on the sequencer but the AN1X software editor can be better for getting the pitches right first then tweak gate/velocity/CC on the Dreh.
Drehbanks arent the cheapest MIDI controller but you can also use them for anything else MIDI wise and although youll still need to refer to the AN1X front panel for some parameters it will give you more hands on parameters than almost any other VA which imho is most invaluable element to any hardware synth.

if these could be converted for use with the AN200 or DX200...
Rob, do you think you could post a text file with them (zip maybe together)
with some step by step what you did?

Oops! :-S
If this is the case I think I must have saved the entire bank each time
instead of each individual patch (no wonder the files are so big)! Sorry I'm
not used to the software editor yet.
I think I may also contain an unfinished Equinoxe 3 patch that was supposed
to be the string pad for Equinoxe 2 if you want to rename it.
If you could zip just one bank that would be great as I only have the
valuation version of Winzip. Better still if you could perhaps just select
the relevent patches (five I think) and put those in a 'Jarre' file it may
save on more space as most of the other patches are just the normal factory
presets.
I'll try and post any more Jarre patches as soon as time allows. The AN1X's
symphonic fx is great for Synthex impressions.
Btw does anyone out there have a Doepfer Drehbank? I've customised one of
the presets for the ultimate AN1X programming/sequencer interface. I'll try
and upload that soon as well.
Regards
Rob. :-)
