The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi, I own an AN200 and have found it to be exactly what many reviews have said it to be, ie- "Not a toy".

I have found it to be an extremely expressive piece of kit that can be persuaded to make any kind of weird noise i can imagine!

It is the first real synth that i've used apart from an old Yamaha FB-01, and have been seduced by the analogue noises that this beast makes.
 
However, for some time now i have been trying to find out what certain synth terms mean. Is there anyone who can help explain to me what a "Self-Resonating" oscillator is and quite why the random LFO setting is called "Sample and Hold" ?

Thanks for your help.
