The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello,

u can use any sort of knobs on the AN1X 
but ... 
funny enough if u get a common D shaped fit 
they will look misplaced by 180 deg .. 
yamaha must have done this on purpose 
also on my EX5 i have the same problem !
or maybe this is like A and B on potmeters 
log lin in rest of world but lin log in Japan :-) 

so u need one type that can be tighthen from the caps top 
u can see an examples on the first pulse 
in my rack 

http://home.wanadoo.nl/atoni/Studio/rack3.jpg

that type of knobs also fits in the an1x and u can 
point the arrow in any direction u want ..

Regards
