Subject: re:electric piano and organ sounds was patch submission

It's funny that Bruce mentions the AN1X as a poor choice for electric
piano. That's the sounds I use the most. I usually have a bell or a
xylophone sound on one scene, and a more piano like sound on the
second scene, then layer them. This leaves me with only 5 note
polyphony, but in rock, sometimes even that is too much. The AN1X
does not have realistic electric piano sounds, but has lovely sounds
that fit in the tonal range of the electric piano.

For bell sounds, try tuning one osc a fourth above the other(5 semi
tones).

As for organ sounds, I've got a friend with an old Hammond spinet(an
L100) that screams. Still, you can get a cool psychedelic pipe
organ/pad sound out of the AN1X.
