Writing a converter between SYX format and AN1xEdit format would be fairly
trivial (after all An1xEdit can already export to SYX format).
Unfortunately, I am snowed under with other projects at the moment. However
if anyone wants to write a converter, the file formats for .AN1 are
available for download from the Yamaha UK support site.

Perhaps Charles-Emmanuel de Reus (the guy who wrote the AN1x Genetix add on
for An1xEdit) would like to knock one up (as I have already sent him the
file formats for .AN1, .ANP and ANS). Also if you haven't tried his Genetix
program....give it a go.....you can actually create some good sounds with
it!

Regards

Gary
