Subject: RE: [AN1x-list] An1x Edit Question - Grabbing Sounds

From: "Gary Gregson" <gary@...>

Hi Elson

Even though Gary's made a fine editor program, I only really use it for the
librarian feature. With all due respect, I'm into tweaking the front panel
knobs to get my sound (I'm just old school).

Nothing wrong with that...you can't beat hands on knob twiddling :-)

But what I want to know is, is it possible to tweak a sound on the AN1x and
then use AN1x edit to "grab" it and save it in an An1x edit bank? I've
tried the "Store Current" feature but it only stores a sound into the
editor if it's already saved onto the synth's RAM. I basically want to use
the editor to grab these sounds from the edit buffer so I can place them in
my onboard AN1x patch bank at a later date.

Store [Current] actually saves the current An1xEdit edit buffer data back to
its library. It doesn't do anything at the synth.

Unfortunately requesting data from the synths edit buffer wasn't part of the
original program spec I received from Yamaha. Hence it didn't get
implemented. They were more concerned with being able to upload/download
from the user memory.

Hence if you want to keep a voice you have created at the synth, you first
have to store to user memory....then use AN1xEdit, Bulk [Request] button to
dump the voice back to the library.

I was considering included edit buffer bulk requests on my own time ....but
so far haven't got around to it :-(

Sorry!

Regards

Gary
