Re: [AN1x-list] Wind instrument sound on an AN1x

2001-10-08 by Andrea TONI

Hello,

well in defense of Z1/Prophecy I have to say 

u have 4 superb complete Lfos and 4 Envs

that are sadly lacking on Ex5 and AN1X and Tg77/SY99 

I think Yamaha must hate Lfos,  in all of their synth
top or not top of line they are always
1) not so many and 2) very basic compare to 
others (lfo2 on AN1X is almost a joke :-(((( ) 


Lfos in SW are easy to implement so I really don't understand 
why it is so. 

Besides I LOVE Lfos especially in SUBTRACTIVE synthesis 
they are never enough and indispensable to MOVE 
sounds. 

(I adore my JD800/JD990 8 (EIGHT) Lfos with delays fade trig + -)

Regards
