Hi.Thanks for the info both of you guys!Well seems I figured that the
An1x has this dual 2 osc mode(4 osc piano!!WOW!)I did find that An1x
edit was able to open the .an2 files as ANY file type but it is garble
junk as it cannot determine what the info is encoded as.As such I
would need to get my hands on xg works 3 which no longer exists or
download a copied version from lime wire to then use the an200 editor
plugin and convert the sounds to an1x type files..i dont know if this
is possible since when I had my an200 some months back,it came with
nothing but the unit..not even a plug!No I dont have a mac..PC
only..cheaper and sometimes FREE!If all else fails,I will have to try
to use FM8 and try to convert the patch 3osc synth brass sound(that is
the sound on the 200 as well that I love and the one I used in my
wedding song for my wife!).If any body has this sound for an1x already
converted,please help.Thanks!
