The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello,

Rather then killing the touchstrip if i had to do it .. 

- i would get a doepfer midi pocket control on ebay .. 
  or a http://www.doepfer.de/pe.htm   http://www.doepfer.de/pdf/PE_Man.pdf

- i would find a joystick case that can guest the dopefer pots 
  (or get equivalent pots and ohmmic  values in different mech shapes) 
  the manual says that any LINEAR potmeter from 4700 to 100K ohm will do
  or get a pro joystick that already has the right ohmmic pots values 
  built in .. for example 
  http://uk.farnell.com/productimages/farnell/standard/42256192.jpg
  2 by 10K in there 
 
- make some holes on the right part of the an1x 
  and install the dopefer inside the an1x u can easily find 7/12 volt 100ma 
  inside the an1x power supply 
  in fact there is space also below the 2 mod wheels .. u can keep 
  the joystick there and the other 14 knobs on the top right panel .. 
  even better ... it is digital domain so u can just use plain simple 
  flat cables inside to connect the pots/JSticks 

- plug AN1X midi out to dopefer midi in and get the dopefer midi out 
  to control anything u wish , it will also merge an1x midi cc too ! 

voila' ;-) 

i had this in my mind since years ... if i can find the time to .. 
just DOIT ! damm time !!! 

Regards
