The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I'm really new to electronic music and hence have a substantial 
hurdle to overcome in understanding how to do things. Does anyone 
know of any really simple instructions on how to use either the an 
expert editor or An1xEdit? I need really simple step by step 
instructions. Can anyone help? steve

It would help you a lot if you would read a book about "how 
substractive synthesis works" first. After reading and understanding 
that (and after reading the manual for the AN (you can download here 
also a .pdf version of the AN1x manual), the AN1xedit is almost self 
explaining.

Look also here:

If you join, you can download a "Analogue synthesis for beginners" 
from their file-section.

and here for AN documentations and other goodies:

Hope it helps,

What you need is to understand how subtractive synthesis (and synthesis in
general) works. If you know the different "modules" of the synth, the OSC:s,
LFO:s Envelopes and so on, it's rather easy to apply that knowledge to any
Analogue/VirtualAnalogue synth, regardles of make and model.

One very nice source for synthasizer info is the Sound on Sound series Synth
Secrets. It started in SoS May 1999, and continued for 28 issues or so...

Find some presets you like. Take notes on the parameters. Compare 
them. Notice some use oscillator sync and some don't. How does it 
sound? Find a preset that's close to what you want, and try changing 
one little parameter-even if you don't have a clue what you're doing. 
Experiment, goof around. This technique is extremely addictive and 
whole afternoons can vanish in seconds while you play with sounds.

Hi Gary and the list,

Could you please tell me whether or not AN1x Edit is compatible with the
AN200 (or if it will be)?

Many thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil

The AN200 is simply a PLG150AN board hosted in a box with some XG
effects and drum parts. Hence An1xEdit (in PLG150AN mode) will work fine
with the AN200. However it will only edit the AN part, as it knows
nothing about the drum/effect parts.

Regards
