The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello!
first sorry for my messages, i'm not at home, just somewhere in Spain for work with a borrowed laptop...
Some Yamaha racks (Motif or maybe CS6) have slots for PLG cards, but they're fairly expensive. The better solution would be the Kenton rack, assuming you can find one.
A guy of the list had tried to put an AN200 in a 19" rack. I think it's possible, the simplest way is to fix 2 "ears" on both sides of the case, but an issue may come with the
height of the AN200 which is probably not "standard".
Cheers
JF.
