Subject: Re: [AN1x] lead synths patches as promised!

I just got an an-200 without software, does anyone happen to have an iso of the disk or the installer files? Anyone know if the editor is osx or os9 for mac?

Touch'e...Indeed I will have to hold on to the next cz I get that is

in good condition ELECTRONICALLY at least.As for the AN1x..I have

already purchased a yamaha portable PIANO with SQUARE front

keys(YPP15), lead to cut up and install in those keys for

weighting,rubber dome pcb mount switches from Lowery organ co,cherry

wood,maple wood,oak plywood,etc for my synth..time is what I now

need..ah time.;)

"Phaedra" (by Tangerine Dream), using the envelope unusually to get a

fake echo, the "real" lead sound of the well known "Oxygen" by J.M.J.,

a Klaus Schulze space pad in "Moondawn".. . just add a few external

reverb, there is none in any CZ synth, and here we are. Don't forget

these keyboards are 20 years old...

a cooperative professional in your neighbourhood. Each side and the

front part under the keys can be simple pieces of wood, but that would

be a much more easier task for a DYIer.
