The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi DC,

>>
I also neglected to mention something else. Assigning a controller 
and corresponding parameter for AC1 from the CS6X menu system works 
fine, even with the default control number of knob 1 (haven't tried 
knob 2 yet), however this had no effect when I tried it the other way 
around, from AN1Xedit to the CS6x.
<<

I am not sure what you mean when you say "from AN1Xedit to the CS6x". As
I said in my previous email, I think the setup on the actual keyboard
front panel is assigning AC1 to the XG part easy parameters (i.e. not
the AN Matrix!).

>>
the CS6X has 6 control sets for its built-in tone 
generator and 4 sets, called AC 1-4, for the plg-an (Gary, are these 
correspond to the first four controllers in the Matrix? I am assuming 
they do).
<<

I suspect not! I think these will be applying to AC1 & AC2 of the XG
part hosting for the AN board. i.e. the easy edit offset parameters.

>>
You can assign AC1's controller (on the Cs6x) and a 
corresponding parameter (in the an board) from the CS6X menu system. 
The controller assignment is found in the CS6X utility menu and the 
parameter is set by voice, in the edit menu. You can set control 
numbers for AC2-4 in the voice, but you cannot assign parameters for 
them from the CS6X menu system.
<<

I guess that you cannot setup AC3-4 because the XG hosting part only
provides two AC controller assignments. The CS6x is a general purpose
modular plugin card host. I suspect the additional ACs are for other MSP
cards that do have 4 assignable controllers (tho I am not sure which
boards they may be).

>>
SO from the CS6x I have been able assign one controller (knob 1 so 
far), the pb, mod wheel, and ribbon (after modifying voice in 
AN1xedit). I haven't behad any success assigning any further 
controllers.
<,

By default the PC and MOD wheels already have assigned functions for AN
voices (Pitch bend +/-2 semitones and scene morph respectively). However
if you have managed to assign the ribbon, I guess you must have done
this via the matrix. If that works then any other controller should
work.
