The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

You are not alone.  I am not doing any prog rock type stuff, though I can
enjoy it once in a while (in the stylings of Kevin Gilbert)...have you heard
"Spock's Beard"?  Anyway...

I am primarily looking at sounds for pop/80s/electronic (mixed in with
rock...not the electronica that's poular now - Think: "Blinded me with
Science"), etc...

I have no examples to offer you at the moment, as none of my tunes has
actually included the plg150-AN yet.  I am doing a cover tune of Roger
Taylor's (Queen's drummer) from his solo album in 1987-ish called "Killing
Time"...big synth orchestra thingy in the middle...sweet.  Lots of loopbacks
to do this one right.
