Congratulations on the AN1x. It's a terrific virtual analog synth
that 
will serve you well. It closely follows the standard, Subtractive 
Synthesis model so it's no more difficult to program than any other, 
i.e., VCOs, VCA, VCF, LFO's, etc. You'll get the hang of it.

Make certain to check the Files section here at eGroups for more
Voices 
and Utilities. There are folders for Mac & Win utilities. Also, there 
are plenty of files and Tips & Tricks on my site http://www.jdlx-

Could you rephrase your question, please. I don't understand what 
you're asking.

Keep in mind that the AN1x Step Sequencer is NOT a full blown
sequencer 
such as Cubase or Logic. It's meant to emulate the old monophonic, CV 
step sequencers from the late '70s and early '80s. It's good to learn 
to program it from the front panel of the AN1x to best understand it 
but it is far_more_easy to program from AN1xEdit ;-) It will output 
standard MIDI Note and CC events which could be recorded into your 
computer sequencer.

The Yamaha file names are misleading. The tutorial file names DON'T 
actually match up to the Tutorial .PDF. Someone on the list had begun 
to compile the correct voice into a file but I don't know that they 
ever finished. My advise: Program them by hand, or use AN1xEdit, from 
scratch. It's the best way to learn how the parameters interact.
