The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Ok, so they have no physical controls.

I can imagine listening to an SW1000XG/PLG150-AN demo sequence and
thinking - gee - I'd like those sounds / effects in one of my compositions.
Oh bugger, there are sysex strewn throughout the song Im going to have to
sit here, go through them all and extract/analyse them so as to reproduce
the state of the devices as they are in bar xxx.

I cant just run the entire sequence up to bar xxx because Yamaha say I dont
need to becuase I can just embed this entire sequence at the beginning of my
song to set it up !

HAHAHA
