The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I am trying to reduce my live rig down to two boards. One option I 
have is to trim the An1x and replace it with the PLG150-AN which I 
would install in my Motif ES7. What are my options in terms of 
transferring voices between the An1x and the PLG board? I understand 
that there are obvious differences between the two beasts, but, is it 
possible to create a sound on the An1x and modify it so that it plays 
on the PLG card?

I have PLG150AN(and DX) boards in my S80. An1x patchbanks in files 
here load to the PLG userbank with no problem- just use either an1x 
edit or the AN expert editor which comes with the AN board. Check the 
an1x editors' helpfile (file types and voice data) for exact 
differences between the two, and conversions that take place when 
transferring voices.  I have many an1x patchbanks stored on S80s' 
smartmedia card; only takes a few seconds to load a bank from card to 
PLG board. The AN board is fixed at scene 1 and on-board efx are 
limited to amp sim and eq. It's easy to route AN voices thru the 
hosts' efx though, and doing Host Synth/AN splits and layers no 
problem. The S80 has 5 assignable knobs (and exp ped input) that I use 
for real-time AN control. You might find the PLGs' extra goodies 
useful (esp. multi-saw wave and osc X-Mod). If you have an empty PLG 
slot in your Motif, go for 
it!                                                                  --

Steve,

Thanks for your reply... Is the AN expert editor OSX
compatible? That would be great. One of my
frustrations with the An1x right now is that I can't
edit the patches on my computer...

Well, I suppose I can use the editor librarian
available for the An1x for the plg card in OSX...

No; I believe all the PLG editors work with Win95 thru XP 
only...

As previously discussed, all the AN editors supplied by Yamaha run 
under Classic - you can install OMS along with the MIDI Driver for 
your USB MIDI Interface under OS X (Panther or Tiger) and it will 
work as intended.  There are no native OS X editors for the AN family.

Jon, 

I was hoping that since the plg 150 an is a newer
product that it would be supported under OSX. You're
right though, we did discuss running the An1x editors
under classic...
