Hi gang
I know we've been through this topic before, but I just need confirmation. I
see my AN1X standing there with incredible possibillities, beautiful sounds
and its great keyboard, and then all I can think off is its damn monotimbral
(bi-timbral at most) shortcomings.
Is there a reason for VA's to have less polyphony and timbrality than
sampled-based synths? Even the new Supernova 2 only got eight part
multitimbrality. It's just enough for basic songs, but I think 16 part
multitimbrality is a minimum. Even my trusty DJX got that.
I extensively use MIDI (without being a guru, far from it), and in that
sense the AN1X is near to useless in complete songmaking as I can only use
one sound in every song. Sure there must be a way to at least use different
sounds in a track, albeit not at the same time? Is there something like a
patch-change command I can send to my AN1X? I use Cakewalk 8.0.
Was wondering if I should invest in a sampler so I could sample my AN1X and
use it as a multitimbral AN1X-emulator. Don't know which sampler's got the
best filters and effects, though... But that's a whole 'nother story.
