The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I used to be very anti-preset, but I'm all for not letting spending 
hours engineering patches interfere with writing material. If a sound 
works for you, then use it. I'm willing to bet that a lot of us use 
some sounds for our songs that are a few tweaks away from some 
presets, anyway. 

Cheers,
