The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

thanks

Thanks for the info, i did actually mean self-oscillating!

I'm not sure if it's a problem only on the AN200 or whether the AN1x and PLG150AN also suffer from it, but i find the delay effects cause clipping.

Sometimes the echoes have a digital sounding clip and really stand out making them unuseable. I tend to have to rely on external delays.

Also, i read in a review of the AN200 that the delays were sync-able to tempo. Is this true?

Thanks again for any help!

     Don't know about the AN1X, but on the PLG board the only on-
board effects are Amp simulator and 3 band eq. It relies on the host 
synth for other effects. Also don't know if AN200 delay is syncable 
to tempo. ( if it is , I would think it would say in the owners 
manual) You might want to check out Yamaha's website- sometimes they 
have "power user guides" or lists of FAQs for various products.

Hello,

the an200 does synch to its own midi tempo ..
page 134 manual

not so sure if it will synch to an external midi sys clock ..
but if i see the midi page it does rx and tx ..
page 139 manual
(on the contrary to the an1x that only rx it ! damm:-)
so if the delay is on synch to that it may work

maybe Gary can confirm .. ? as he wrote all the editors .. for the series
an1 plg an .

I've never noticed a problem with clipping while using the Delay 
effects on the AN1x.  That said - the AN1x OS v1.04 ROM from Yamaha 
reportedly addressed an issue where clipping could occur specific to 
using the Sync Delay effect.

On the AN1x, one of the Delay effects is for synchronizing to the 
internal Arp/Seq or incoming MIDI Clock (the AN1x does not transmit 
MIDI Clock.) The other Delay effecrs require the user to calculate 
the correct ms of the note division you wish to match for the tempo 
of your song.
