The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi you need to download the xp update fot xgworks from yamaha downloads page.
The problem I found is that if you use another sequencer then it will be a problem running xgworks together. Unles you use 2 pc's.You can use an1xedit but you will not be able to use the an200 to its full capacity.
However I bought the an200/dx200 and sent them back, because I was not impresd by its output quality. Both units and the sw1000 + plugstation are being discontinued.However it is a good groove box for DJ'S. If I had the money I would go for an Access virus...best analog synth ever made!
Im getting fed up of lack of improvements on yamaha audio cards and synths.

I'd advise using An1xEdit for all editing..
Using some other sequencer which you normally never use (XGworks) and an
editor for it is .. not very ergonomic.. and An1x-edit is one of the best
user interfaces for editing I've ever seen (IMHO).
It should work fine and covers all the params of your AN200..
As for the second question , I 'm not sure why it crashes Editor, but you
should see AN200 manuals and see if it's compatible in some way of recieving
sysex dumps (patches) of AN-1x ..
If yes, then just try sending it from midi sequencer to AN200.

Modern midi interfaces have multi-client drivers, so , in fact, running some
editor from some other sequencer is possible while having another sequencer
running all the stuff on those interfaces.. (f.e. Midiman interfaces have
multi-client drivers).
've got Virus b here too and , yeah, it has more extended synthesis.. and
may be covers more 'synth characters'..
but An-1x character is somehow 'closer' to me.. maybe it's because I've got
my AN1x longer than virus, but I somehow love it a bit more, I think :-)
Free EG and Feedback of AN-1x are one of 'jewels' virus lacks.. feedback is
just one parameter but it allows changing the whole sound of synth often on
AN..

[IMHO]
