The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I'm sorry guys, but my intention wasn't to produce such issue...

> isn't it all just musicstyles from the Technogenre?????? we are already in
the subgenres so >whats wrong with Psychedelic trance, dream, triphop etc
etc????

Yes, they are. We may select up to 25 options so we can add some subgenres
if we want to. I don't want to be pedant or set new rules since I'm new on
the list, but it even may give us a chance to make "style-oriented patch
challenges", think about a trance set or something like this to post..:-)

>Well come on...the AN1x IS a synthesizer, and synths are a staple in

>I mean, if this was a Gibson Les Paul list, you'd probably complain how
>rock-oriented the list would be...

Well, but there's a lot of techno music made w/ guitars too, just like
rock'n'roll or something like this...can you imagine Yes or Genesis whitout
a synth? Let's be democratic, there's no problem if we post some rock genres
in th pool...:-)

>> Excuse my ignorance but I cant tell the difference between

You don't have to apologize, I can't name 5 rock genres as well...:-)

Let's select 25 genres (w/ or w/out "subs") and post it, Ok?
I already have 31 options, so let's menage it in order to have only 25,
Deal? I already merged some as SynthPop w/ Pop (now I'm the "ignorant" coz I
don't see much difference..:-) and Ethnic w/ Latin (wich is ethnic as well)
so we have to merge another 3 genres (I'm not sure about to merge Trance w/
PsyTrance...IMHO they're quite different) or simply cut off some w/ less
chance to get a vote like Punk (I agree that some band should use the AN1x
to do Punk, but the most Punk bands that use synths are now playing Ska..:-)
