The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello,

one of my favorite ever is to assign a slow delayed LFO to the VCA
to have a delayed tremolo effect on sustained sounds triggered by AT 
works great on organ/pad/drones like sounds
u can do it with mod wheel but of course when u play 
with 2 hands massive chords is better to use AT to trigger it   

i use it a lot on my JD800 where the lfos are extremely flexible 
and a neat trick is to use perfect multiples lfo speed per TONE 
2/4/8/16, or to trigger AT +15 -30 +30 -15  

what a pity lfos on the AN1X are so poor in comparison and no 
multiple tones or multi :-( but we can use the free EGs to move the 
sound
 
on the other hand i think the strength of the AN1X are the lovely 
VCOs FMing and SYNCHing capabilities 
 
on knobs related issues 
i truly adore my jd800 even if it is a 1 knob per function 
u can hardly get lost in sub menus and u know what u change when u 
move something, instant endless pleasure !

the AN1X is a good compromise but 8 knobs and matrix panel are 
the "so-trendy-cheap for them to make-not cheap for u to buy" UI 
solution
