The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

First find a patch kind of "bassoony" (or any double-reed type  instrument
sound) on the AN1X,  use it twice (layer the patch), detune + and - on the
cents on each of the single patches until it sounds right. I hope I am using
the proper terms here as I have number of synths and find it hard to keep
all the terms straight for each one with its individual idiosyncrasies.

If you can layer 3 patches of the same single patch, put one "in tune" and
the other two detuned the same amount.....one on the + side, the other on
the - side.

That should get you close. I am not one to involve algebra in these kinds of
things, just tweak, tweak, tweak till you get what you want...;-)

(I did this on an Ensoniq TS-12 and the result was excellent. Order my cd if
you want to hear it;-).....)
