Please continue the submissions. I have patches to submit for the brass and synth categories already done.

I think part of the problem is the current category. IMHO, I don't believe that an analog synth is a good starting point for electronic piano -- the desired waveforms are too complex. When I first looked at the Yamaha guide and saw the piano category I said, "Yeah, right." I'm not saying that the AN1x can't be used for e-piano in a pinch, but there are better alternatives, and I already use them.

As for the next couple of weeks, on a strictly personal example: Since I play a Hammond B-3 clone, and use an Alesis ROMpler for Farfisa and Vox sounds, I don't have much to contribute in making organ out of analog waveforms.

But get back into the strengths of an analog synth, and I'll be contributing!

Regards,

-BW
