The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi A few weeks ago I stated I was the newest An1x user on the net, 
well I have a new terratec soundcard and cubasis(both not installed 
yet) although I have connected the An1x to my computer using the midi 
leads that came with the card and am using the shitty "riptide combo 
card" that was standard with my HP computer.

I have a pirate copy of Cubase vst 5(ssshhh!!!!) and have been 
recording notes into tracks.  Thats about it!  

I notice that the sounds coming out of the shitty little Polk Audio 
speakers are not the sounds from the An1x.  They are little computer 
game kind of midi noises that you hear on shitty websites about 
movies stars.  

Could someone further my development in this and advise me if this 
should be happening or or whether i should be hearing exactly what 
the An1x should be playing.  I have the An1x set to local off(as 
advised by Cubase).

Cheers.  any other info would be much appreciated also.  I have only 
had a couple of goes at this so far.  Am still impressed that I got 
the computer to play the correct notes out any way!

Also I noticed that the An1x controls 'Rebirth'.  Where can I find 
information on what key does what in Rebirth as I want to use rebirth 
intuitively live with the AN1X.

Thanks Stuart
