The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi,

I don't own an AN1X myself, but I do own 2/5 of one!

Or put another way, I own a Yamaha EX5, which has the AN modelling 
within its sonic armoury.

As the EX5 is now discontinued by Yamaha, several member sof the EX 
community (myself included) are looking at ways of keeping support 
for this synth going.

One area I am considering (it's crazy Yamaha never supported it) is 
to provide converter utilities to allow the EX to read the patches of 
the synths it is derived from, viz: A3000, VL30, CS series, and AN1X.

As I also program for a hobby, I can combine two interests and the 
result will benefit a lot of people.

To start off, I am looking at starting on an AN1X to EX patch 
converter in the new year (once I've finished some other projects) 
and I am looking for a friendly AN1X owner who may be able to help me 
out.

The sort of help I would be looking for is for somebody to either 
create or take a patch, note down all the parameter settings and then 
send this to me along with the actual file containing the bank. This 
would allow me to dissect the AN1X voice and come up with a mapping 
to the EX voice structure.

If you would be interested and willing to help, the please emial me 
at dacook@....
