The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello TerryFunken (& any others who can offer some programming tips)
>
 Been reading through your AN1X reccomendation, and like you am no longer
creating D&B but have a love for the sounds/production, unfortunatley I am
some what a Novice with my AN1X & was wondering if youd be so kind as to
post up/send me some more tips, patches ect. as I feel it a bit of a sin to
just be tweaking presets, & my own programmed patches are bearly skimming
the surface of the AN.

Thanking you in advance
