The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Ok. I found another area where this synth has "personality."

Remember the discussion we had about when the ribbon controller 
resets to mid-point (for pitch up/pitch down) and when it doesn't? 
Well I have got a patch that seem to break some of the rules. It is a 
patch with osc 2 detune by the ribbon (x dimension) and it resets 
when you take your finger off the ribbon.

When I add one aditional mod routing to the patch, it stops re-
centering. The type of mod routing I add to send it over the edge 
doesn't seem to matter (I have tried varying source and destination 
to see if it was a pitch calculation constraint in the synth engine).

So I have two patches side by side in my user bank. One patch has N 
routings and resets osc 2 pitch to center, when I take my hand off 
the ribbon. The other has N+1 routings and does not reset to center. 
Apart from this, the patches are identical.

Weird huh? Anybody want to see this patch? It is kinda cool actually. 
The kind of patch that out-guitars most guitars. I'll play with it 
and try to come up with a general rule.

Cheers,

Jerry
