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

Hi Terry, the AN1x is a virtual analogue synthesizer.  The only way you can load sounds into it, is if they are dedicated MIDI System-Exclusive files, which provide the synth with a set of parameters to alter its sounds (for example, VCO pitch and wave type, filter cut-off, attack rate of amp envelope).  There are many examples of Sysex files you can load into the AN1x in the files section of this group - some of which may include Mellotron emulations, but using the synth's architecture to get close to, say, the Mellotron string or flute sounds.

"Buying a CD of Mellotron sounds" suggests you mean samples, which may well load into your sampler, if they are of the correct format for that model. but you can't load samples into the AN1x.

Hope that helps.
