The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Ed, and thank you
for this warm welcome. I just had to share my feeling
happy risking to bore anybody on the forum. And
instead such an embrace. The sounds, I don\ufffdt even know
if they are factory buying second hand. What I know
is, I\ufffdm intersted in what a machine can do, what it
can sound like. And through the years I found you have
to turn off as much as possible:no FX,detune,second
osc(except for FM/Sync) if you really wanna hear it. I
came across the AN1X trying to help my brother, who
was looking for  an VA. He\ufffds not really a synthesist,
and I\ufffdhad been reading German "Keyboards" and "Keys"
for years. Now I took all the magazines demos into
WinAmp letting them play randomly. And each time I
found myself looking, "which synth is this" it was the
mean blue machine. Most astounding I find: the
features list of Roland, Clavia and others is much
longer BUT...!
Thanks for all your hints and links and I promise I
will report on my progress.
