The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the answer, hope I understood it correctly :) ... So this is
what I understood: I need to program my AN1x so that the patch (or was it
called program?) I'd like to use must have PitchBend setting in range -12 to
+12. Then I need to program my midi pedal so that there is one pedal which
sends PitchPend with value 0 (one octave down) and then one pedal with PB
value 64 (reset) and so on... Cool, it sounds like it could be working :) I
need to try this back home today.



Cheers,
TimoS

The dual pedal idea is what i was going to suggest.  Do you stab the 
pedal or hold as you could program one to pitch up on press & reset 
on release and on the other pitch down on press & reset on release.

This would require you hold the pedal to transpose and release to 
reset (toggle mode i think).

Is there a rocker type pedal on your controller or just on/off?

A rocker pedal would be easier to program with up/reset/down.

Richard

Actually I can program the pedals to behave how I like, the controller has
two midi strings per patch and you can set the pedals to toggle (on/off),
momentary or to normal state. So I have not yet decided how I would like the
pedals behave, am I going to need two or three pedals for transposing.

>Is there a rocker type pedal on your controller or just on/off?

I have to say that I don't know what is rocker type pedal :-/ ... the
controller is old Digitech PMC-10, so actually I can chain several patches
together and change them by using just one single pedal.

You got it! Let us know how it works out.
