Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Our beloved AN1X is featured prominently on the back of Keyboard Magazine as an example of how far the new virtual synths have come. Why are the new synths so short, and how do you put one on a keyboard stand?

I had a friend replace a key on the AN1X--it is a royal pain, requires taking everything apart, and even if you are tech savvy (this guy took apart and rebuilt a laptop), it still took most of an afternoon.

Finally, thanks to all with advice. I set up knob 1 to control midi number 7 and sure enough the volume on my vintage keys goes up and down, but so does the volume on the AN1X. How do I set it up so it doesn't affect the AN1x. I tried turning the omni off but that didn't help. I get nervous dealing with the techie parts of the synth, afraid I'll mess something up and it'll never recover.

Thanks

Jimmy
