Hello Jon. I'm a Logic user, but I can't quite understand the
usefulness of an environment for the AN1x: if you can tweak all
parameters on the synth dead easily, and you can do the same on
AN1xEdit, what's the point of also being able to do it in Logic? Or
are you using it for something that hasn't occurred to me yet? (Apart
from the Hz readings instead of "meaningless" number values, which I
can dig. And the fact that AN1xEdit and Logic won't run at the same
time. And so as not to have to move your gaze from the monitor. Huh,
guess I've just worked it out....)
Cheers,
Mart
(I've added my set-up to the database as well)
