Hi there Gordon,

Re FM SOUNDS,

You've now reached the end of my knowledge! Hopefull someone else can help?

I haven't had any real experience with the DX-range.

The AN1x does have a FM wave source that can be applied to the main
oscillator in different ways, but I don't expect it has as many parameters
as the DX synths which use FM Synthesis as its foundation.

If you didn't buy your AN1x new, or are missing the operating manual, I'll
gladly photocopy post the relevent pages out to you free of charge -
although the manuel doesn't really go into FM Synthesis to much detail.

I did discover however that the "Appendix" within the manuel covers basic
sound creation examples covering basses, strings etc. which may be a good
place to start for anyone wondering what the various 'analogue' parameters
do, and how they are applied to particular sounds.

Phil
