The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

the an1x sequencer is a little tough to use, but if you write out the notes you want on 
paper it can be a little easier.  the an1x isnt good for trying to make random sequences 
that sound good.  the 8 control knobs represent steps 1-16.  you can plot what notes to 
play, how hard they play(velocity), and how long(gate time).  i find the sequencer useful 
when ihave a good riff in  my head, and dont want to play it by hand, or it is too complex 
or difficult to play by hand...i am not the best pianist.  basicaly all your doing is plotting 
points on a graph.  here those points are notes...i dont have alot time right now to go step 
by step...these are just some things to keep in mind while programming you an1x.  peace 
out.
