The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

hi gary,

thanks for the reply. it's too bad they can't be
combined. i am pretty intrested in the fact that one
day we will be able to use these editors as plugins.
will it be like using a VST instrument in cubase?
how about using xg effects like vst plugins? calling
them up in the send or insert views?

as for xg effects being modulated by a free eg or
sync'd delays mabye yamaha will add this to their
next card (possibly a sw2000xg?) also i hope their
next
card goes to 96000Hz. mabye even a LPF,BPF,BEF AND HPF
that can also be used on audio would be nice to
(though
i never quite understood why they never put filters on
the sw1000xg?

anyway, i sent you my xgedit 95 regestration form
yesterday. thanks for the info!

elektro dan.
