Hi Jeff

Yes i studied electronics and sound engineering.

You can use your soundcard for this and will be totally surprised what kind of Init Waveforms An1X is producing. Without feedback only peaks. Therefore the fundamental waves are damped.
Around feedback=30 you get the signal spectrum of the mathematic functions. But you won't see that, because the overtones are typical yamaha out of phase. But in www you get Spectral
analysers for free. Thin Waves with damped fundamentals or signal Generator functions produce a modern Sound, but sometimes you like it more musically like a minimoog. Look at minimoogs waveforms, There is a sine Wave added. The fundamentales emphased.
An1X is a great machine . He can even produce this with the feedback function.
With a spectral analyzer you will see it best.
It must be an accident, that presest sounds were programmed with feedback set to zero.
Of course this thin sounds are modern. But AN1X is a CS80 clone, vintage.
> sometimes emulations of "traditional" instruments can be very useful.
Yes, and if you programm e.g. the breath of a flute seperate you can controle it better than a
Rom player can do. Roland D50 had an little VA machine. So AN1x is able to produce D50
sounds. Only the spectral functions must be emulated via FM/Sync. Its also an interesting
execise to emulate other synthesizers. AN1X can do this with its feedback edge functions
very well.
Its Filter changes with feedback too and is very vocal. Together with FX/SYNC, Dely as Comb Filter and breath spectrals he can produce very authentic vocals. I hope so :-)
And he can spaek more words than "we all die". The AN1x fun examples show this. And of course he can even speak more words.
Of cause i like this crazy AN1X sounds too. Some examples in this group are really great.
EG this Atari emulations and of course JayB's great tecno Sounds. Aggressor and Accelerate
for example. Thats great work.
I have a question. If i upload my sounds to the yahoo An1x group. Can i change them in future ?
I want to keep them up to date.
Ciao, au revoir
richy
Sorry my bad english
Nice sounds

Welcome !
very impressive theoretical work : grab an oscilloscope to look at the
waveforms ... You have a job in electronics engineering ?
Nice sounds totraditional" instruments o, sometimes emulations of "can
be very useful.
Cheers.
