The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

hi everybody.

i just want to know what other synth you use.

i own a kawai k5000, a monophon bass-synth, a sidstation and of 
course the an1x. they complement each other very good. but i am 
searching for some other and diferent gear, right now. maybee you got 
some suggestions? it should not be very expensive ;]

Hello,

if u go on 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/database

and then gear 

u will find out :-) 

i think the k5k is amazing machine and one of the best 
synth key touch ever  , i had a k5 and sold it (
it was also pretty good master KBD and synth for 87 
and still is compare to some newer synth .. and i love 
the way u could trigger AT .. on my jd800 now it looks like 
u need an hammer to get AT :-) 

AN1x is better in this respect. 


Regards

oh.. i see:) didn´t know about this database.nice. any suggestions 
anyway? maybee i should check out other synthesis forms? what about 
that physical modelling.. korg prophecy and so on.. are these 
machines realy good? ( don´t get me wrong i don´t want a good 
sounding saxophon/ cause i know that is not possible honestly )

:)

The K5000 is an awesome synth. One of my firends has one for 
years now - you should check out the K5000 mailing list here at 
Yahoo! Groups if you haven't already.

I'd consider something along the lines of a Waldorf MW II/XT 
(wavetable synth) or 2nd hand Korg Wavestation. Maybe a FS1r 
for a healthy does of FM in your setup?

If you enjoy using VSTi's I'd recommend Native Instruments 
Absynth and/or FM7 
http://www.native-instruments.net/index.php?home_us The 
demo for FM7 was a little "buggy" but I believe there have been a 
pair of updates to FM7 addressing those issues. Not bad 
considering how slow NI is with updates. Absynth is incredible 
and will only get better in time, I'm certain.

If cost is an issue then consider Greeen Oaks Crystal (freeware) 
http://www.greenoak.com/ as an alternative to Absynth and 
perhaps Loftsoft's FM Heaven (shareware) 
http://www.loftsoft.co.uk/ as an alternative to FM7.

Jon

Hmmm... How about a Novation Nova? This will give you soem nice 
analog sounds and is inexpensive (especially used at about $525).

Or an original Access Virus. They can be bought used for about $600, 
even the b model has come down to about $850 used. 

The Waldorf XT can be bought used for around $700 these days.

The Waldorf Micro Q Rack can be bought new for $450. 

Any of the above synths would greatly expand your sound capabilities. 
I favor the Nova and Virus synths.

Hello 

maybe is just me .. but i get more and more pleasure with real time 
synths,  simply laid out panels and immidiate tweaking 

http://www.mfberlin.de/Produkte/Musikelektronik/MFB-SYNTH/mfb-
synth.html

or a waldorf pulse with some knobby box 
can make miracles 
u can chain them also if u want polyphony 

i also love the doepfer ms404 if u can find one 

all mono analogue ..depends also what kind of sonority 
u are after 

also cheap nowdays are jd990/k2000/Ws/UWave/TG77/Sy99

ciao
Andrea

hi all,

absynth and fm7 are good - but i don´t like softsynth very much - 
you have always to sit on a pc :/ besides that i don´t understand 
fm7 structure up to now.

i thought about the yamaha fs1r, but i am not realy sure if this is 
the right one for me.. it seams to be very hard to programm sound on 
it ( testing it would be nice )- somebody here owns one?

about this nova/virus/waldorf synth - i think the synth architecture 
will not make happy. isn´t it just like a an1x , maybee better?

i really would like to know something more about the physical 
modeling synth.....
are thwere any good synth review out there ( in german would be 
great 
:)

anyway thanks for your tips so far

-p

A common and perfectly reasonable statement. But this is one 
reason I like my AN1x so much - the [ASSIGN] Knobs can 
reprogrammed easily to control other sound modules or VSTi's. 
Alternately, you can easily set-up most sequencing 
environments with templates to remap incoming MIDI CCs to 
your VSTi's. This is typically a one time effort so for me it 
minimizes - practically eliminates - the issue altogether. But 
again, this entirely a matter of personal preference and is not a 
right or wrong arguement.

Yes, you could take thinks a step further then the AN1x with the 
excellent Peavey PC1600X MIDI Controller (or something 
equivalent) and reallly go to town! I would LOVE to have one 
those!!!

Great choices on the 2nd hand market :-) Watch out for 
Wavestations and original K5s with burntout or fading backlight 
displays.TG77/SY99s were great synths and there is loads of 
online Kurzweil support.

Dunno for states, but european market around www.ebay.de is packed with analog
classics going for ridicilous prices - not to mention samplers, as everyone
are going soft (from their head).

So open http://www.vintagesynth.com on one window and ebay at another, and
start throwing keywords and salivating!
