The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I liked the AN1X presets much better once I zeroed the eq settings. I 
usually like to use an EQ to subtract not to add frequency and when you 
boost the high end of a digital synth it's a bit of an icepick in the 
ear effect.

Since it's a virtual synth, I find the most useful patches are the ones 
that sound analogish but with a little extra--like morphing or 
increasing the echo with the ribbon controller. Records well and fits 
in a mix nicely. The EMU presets always sounded a little cold solo but 
in a mix they really shine.
