The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I suppose by saying it got a too big sensivity everybody that it's just too
'discrete' ... u have to push rather hard for it to start functioning , but a
lil' bit more and it's 127 already .. and it goes like 0 , 25, 60 , 85, 109
and 127 ... too little steps ..
Is it much better on other synths (keybs) ? I am running only one keyb. here
, others are rack .. well .
(except a 'new' s/h Roland SH-101 which I've got today) heh ...
