The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi.
Well, most people use it (an-1x) with many other modules/synths/keyboards..
There are many people which never (or practically never) use ANY of their
synths in multi mode (even the ones like JV2080's and samplers). They just
use one part from AN-1x and may be switch a patch somewhere later the track
and use another one.
At the recent time I am using AN-1x this way too..
But 4 years ago it was my only synth so the only thing I had to do was to
multitrack it.. (just like guitar). Meaning , I'd compose a MIDI part and
then record it into Audio , muting Midi part afterwards...
Then I could take another patch, compose another part and so on..
Sometimes I am doing this nowadays too when there are really 2 or 3 Vital
sounds from AN-1x for the track.
But mostly I am using Virus/MicroQ/MicroWave XT and An-1x together to play my
arrangement in midi now - that surely is much easier and comfortable speaking
about editing of the parts themselves or tweaking the sounds and adjusting
them to each other.
