The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Paul,

To some extent you can see their argument. i.e. since the soundcards/PLG
boards have no physical controls (knobs buttons etc) then there is no way to
edit them except via external software. Whereas with a real synth (e.g.
AN1x)  you can change the setup from the front panel controls...so bulk
request is needed.

Still its a pretty lame argument given the cost of implementing bulk request
should not be significant (in fact they probably had to remove it from the
firmware they copied form the original synths ;-)

Regards

Gary
