Re: [AN1x] Only one knob can move at a time?

2007-02-09 by Rob Hill

The An1X still makes a good master keyboard, If you link it with a MIDI knob bank (like the Doepfer Drehbank) that has MIDI merge then you get an awesome sequencer and MIDI control surface.

 more than when the AN1x was designed.  It would have been a nice 
 touch but hey... I just went up and picked up a Midi box for cheap 
 so its not that big a deal... I just wanted to make sure there 
 wasn't a special mode or something I could use before spending 
 money.  So thanks for the repies!
