"Unfortunately, unlike analog, the AN1X stays in tune unless you
program the tuning to drift."
Hey guys. Mind you I have no problem sounding lame and/or making idiotic questions. Again, I am an alt/indie guitarrist songwriter with zero knowledge of what is "true" to this scene. But I've ALWAYS had a thing for the analogue Moog-ish-full-of-knobs-to-tweak-and-make-crazy-sounds stuff. An1x is my first.
And I love to learn the right stuff
Why oh why the above statement? I mean, yeah, I love Sonic youth's weird sonic untuned stuff... but with such keyboards isn't that effect achievable with detune assigned to a knob?
Isnt that like saying "Yeah, I love that guitar because it cant hold tune? or the strings got out of tune after a while, isnt that cool?" - I have read, long before joining this group, that is one main characteristic of the real vintage circuitries - but never thought it would actually be a desired feature... and if it is, an algorythm for that would take up 10 minutes of the programmers time and (my guess) would be included as a "as close to the real thing as it can be".
I am confused, as often :)
cheers

I play for a while and then the sound gets like interrupted (short,
without release) till I press some times the Ribbon (I heard that I
have to press on the right side-above) and then I can play for a
while till it comes again. And again, and again...."
If the ribbon controller does this on its own, you've never touched the
ribbon controller, then your ribbon controller is broken.
Also--the AN1X is not analog. It is a virtual analog synthesizer. It's
modeled on the Prophet 5. Since Dave Smith both designed the Prophet 5
and worked on Yamaha's physical modeling team for awhile, the AN1X
sounds a lot like an old Prophet. It's all micro chips. This is
actually better than analog as you get a nice stepping effect when you
adjust the filter and at times you can get nice aliasing
effects.Unfortunately, unlike analog, the AN1X stays in tune unless you
program the tuning to drift.
