For the benefit of those who are recent to AN1x-list - and James too -
there are a number of Links posted here at Yahoo! Groups to various
programming resources:

In addition to the half dozen programming tutorials which appear in
the latter half of the AN1x Referernce Manual, Yamaha published the
AN1x Voice Set-up Guide

http://www.yamahasynth.com/d_pro/d_an1x/an1xgde.pdf

which demonstrates a few dozen Voices programmed from scratch.

Also, there is the AN Tone Generator Seminar

http://www.digitalmusicworld.com/html/hardware/SynthSeminars/an-
e/index.html

which uses AN200 Editor to demonstrate some Suntractive Synthesis
basics.

And check out Programmng Tips from Future Music Sep '98

Keyboard Magazine offered a free download of Native Instruments
SoundForum softsynth (Mac/Win) which was used for a serious of
programming tutorials written by Peter Gorges of NI:

Unfortunately, Intermusic has shutdown so their excellent tutorial's
are gone :-( So goes the Internet...

Hope this helps,
