hi there, last week i bought a yamaha an200, is my firts synthesizer and i´m learning a lot of things with this box, i´m very happy with the overall sound, althougt i dont have other machine to compare to.
since i read the manual there is a question that is eating me: Can i bring all the synthesis potential back to real life not using the software?. Im a live musician so, i dont want to be tight to a computer to get all the programing hability out. So i was thinking on buying a midi controller in order to have a keyboard to play. But when i realized that this box has hidden things like: ring modulator, pwm, LF2, etc. the idea of controlling this hidden things from knobs in the midi keyboard suddenly appear. Is that posible o is just a crazy idea?
I hope someone could help me.
