Congratulations on the AN1x. It's a terrific virtual analog synth
that
will serve you well. It closely follows the standard, Subtractive
Synthesis model so it's no more difficult to program than any other,
i.e., VCOs, VCA, VCF, LFO's, etc. You'll get the hang of it.

Make certain to check the Files section here at eGroups for more
Voices
and Utilities. There are folders for Mac & Win utilities. Also, there
are plenty of files and Tips & Tricks on my site http://www.jdlx-

Could you rephrase your question, please. I don't understand what
you're asking.

Keep in mind that the AN1x Step Sequencer is NOT a full blown
sequencer
such as Cubase or Logic. It's meant to emulate the old monophonic, CV
step sequencers from the late '70s and early '80s. It's good to learn
to program it from the front panel of the AN1x to best understand it
but it is far_more_easy to program from AN1xEdit ;-) It will output
standard MIDI Note and CC events which could be recorded into your
computer sequencer.

The Yamaha file names are misleading. The tutorial file names DON'T
actually match up to the Tutorial .PDF. Someone on the list had begun
to compile the correct voice into a file but I don't know that they
ever finished. My advise: Program them by hand, or use AN1xEdit, from
scratch. It's the best way to learn how the parameters interact.
