I saw Eddie Jobson playing his real CS80 in 2010. What a beast of a machine! And an amazing performer. I appreciate your programming detail and knowledge of the AN1x synth engine. It was designed by some great engineers and is an amazing musical instrument. Over the years I’ve had a lot of people think it’s sort of a toy due to the blue plastic and design… then they hear it and start to ask more about it. One of my favorite tricks is to assign one of the foot controllers to Scene Morph. The factory default is set for the Mod Wheel to Scene Morph but I thought that was wasting the versatility of the thumb wheel control. With an FC-7 (and compatible scenes – for instance using the same octave so the “morph” stays in tune) you can press down and set the pedal anywhere between the two sounds. Then the wheel can do LFO (a traditional setting) and of course there’s the ribbons and all the knobs. This thing still kicks ass 13 years since I bought it new. _____ From: AN1x-list@yahoogroups.com [mailto:AN1x-list@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of richardon Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 6:44 PM To: AN1x-list@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [AN1x] Yamaha GX1 Yamaha GX1 sounds like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFiNVBEIQE8 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFiNVBEIQE8&feature=related> &feature=related Similar to an CS80 but even more dirty and vocal . Inredibel. Best machine to emulate CS80 is AN1x. And also best machine to emulate GS1x. But its impossible to emulate the charakter of an GX1 in all details. BTW In the 80 i was taking part at the Yamaha electone contest and could play an GX1. This instrument is like a dream. cheers _____ size=1 width="100%" noshade color="#a0a0a0" align=center> No virus found in this message.
