The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello!
After mostly working with the VL70-m + EWI3000 for the last 2 years 
I'm now shifting my attention to the PLG150-AN sitting in a MU100R. I 
really like the sounds coming out of the PLG card. The whole concept 
feels so much more straightforward than the often mystery shrouded 
ins and outs of the VL70-m. Don't get me wrong, among other things 
the VL does some emulations I've never heard before. Having worked 
with analog stuff like the Oberheim SEM and Serge Modular since the 
mid 70's, one definitely recognizes the different components. As a 
fat bonus, many new great surprises take shape with the PLG. Still I 
have noticed very few postings regarding AN1x/PLG150-AN in 
conjunction with WC.

However when it comes to WC response, the PLG150-AN differs from all 
other digital, analog, and hybrid models I've used together with my 
different wind controllers, EWI, WX7, and Lyricon Wind Driver. It 
doesn't respond well to the CC7 being generated by the wind sensor of 
the EWI. It's impossible to get the same distinctive attacks like the 
ones being generated by simple finger movements. It seems like the 
whole attack portion disappears, just leaving a numb, very different 
replica of the original sound. Fast tiki-tak-tata type of tounge 
attacks has never been a problem with the VL70-m, it tracks easily. 
Not so with the PLG. OK, when I turn off the EWI wind sensor output, 
no problem. Then, the PLG is as fast as the VL70-m. I guess I can map 
the wind sensor to do something different, but I'm really used to 
control volume with it. Anybody has a remedy for this problem.

Regards,
Lars
