The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thank you Jon
I am formatting my hardrives and getting rid of all programs and will use Cubasis only.  Then I will take your advice.
Thank you and will be asking more questions soon.

A word to the wise: Many, not all - but many, of the more heavily 
frequented message boards frown upon the use of pirate 
software and will direct their opinion towards _you_ in a manner 
not to be mistaken for anything else ;-) You don't want to be 
asking for support on cracked software - stick to your legit 
Cubasis and Terratec Soundcard.

You've probably already read Ed's reply. The MIDI Output of your 
Track in Cubase is misdirected towards the MIDI Input of the GM 
Soundset on your internal soundcard. This might be easily 
corrected by selecting the your AN1x as the output device or you'll 
need to reconfigure at a higher level. My advice is to ditch the 
krack and install Cubasis and the new sound card - the manual 
should contain detailed configuration examples.

I encourage you to visit Intermusic.com 
http://www.intermusic.com/ where you will find a number of well 
written beginner and intermediate articles on MIDI and 
Synthesizers.

Couple of further items...the default MIDI CCs for the AN1x 
Assign knobs are 41-48. Under preference in ReBirth you can 
assign the MIDI CC of your choice to the parameter you wish to 
control in ReBirth. This is explained in the ReBirth manual too. 
Be aware that neither ReBirth or the AN1x output MIDI Clock 
signals so you will need a third device or host application, such 
as Cubasis, to output a clock signal to syncronize the two for 'live' 
use.

regards,

Jon
