The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi richy,

I am a AN1X newbie. I have bought this synth two months ago and day by day I love it more. It is my first synth, and I am so suprised, that the community is so much alive..:) 
Your presets were the first (excluding the orignal) I have tested. I was amazed how cool can this beast play. Thank you very much!
I would like to ask you, how you created those great sequneces? Did you use the AN1X? or you have you used only the software?

I am so glad to have my AN1X and to know...that so many people love this synth.

Greetings from Slovakia.
