Subject: Re: [AN1x] Re: Quick AN1xEdit question on randomization

Hello,

..well ... XOR/Unisyn
is EXTREMELY good at randomizing banks or patches
Years ago (on the Atari:-) I could managed to create
lots of great sounds for matrix 1000 UWave I and TG77.
I have also noticed playing with many other synths D110 K5
Jd800/Jd990 ultraproteus Prophecy .. that the more complex
is the nature of the synth/engine/parameters the better the results,
at least to my ears !
(if u are not in to experimental music u may disagree)
.. m1000 UWave tg77 being the champions in this respect
but the jd800/jd990 combo also never end to surprise me ..

XOR/Unisyn has what i always wanted .. u select 1 patch u like
then a second one and it can progressively
create a morphing bank of variations and permutations of the 2
with some kind of adjustable rules ..
(Any synth company should embed this in ROM on any synth :-)

such a pity that ..
num 1 AN1x is not supported :-(
and num 2 Soundiver doesn't allow the same degree
of randomization control :-(

PS: The Xpander has been sold (not to me !)
i can come back to sleep :-)) .. better focus on what i have
that will keep me busy anyhow for next century ! :-)
