The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Andrea,

Maybe it's just me who likes everything kept in original, mint condition,
but I think such a mod, despite how useful, is only going to detract from
the value of this now quite rare and highly desirable synth. The way I might
go about it is to build the pots and switches into a small case, plug them
into the regular sockets on the back using cables/connectors, and sit the
box on the vacant space on the top right-hand side of the synth. There's
even a special lip there to prevent the box slipping down onto the keys.

What do you think?

Phil

Hello ppl, 

I was looking at a possible modification on my AN1X
( I did a similar one already on my lexicon MRC)

basically the 2 footpedal input and the switch)
can be replicated on the panel with 2 knobs ( 50 Kohm linear i guess ..
I am checking) and with one micro switch push on off

so that u can control both via pedal or via panel the same functions

the critical things is to decide where is on the panel of the AN1X
the best place to mount them !

after some thinking and checking for space outside and inside the AN1X
I think (if u get small pots and switch) the best place is
lower after the 2 wheels

what do u think ppl ?

brainstorming away tnx )

ciao 

I have put a small jpg of the idea at

or is it better left side of the 2 existing pots rows ?



Regards
