The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello,
 
..well ... XOR/Unisyn 
is EXTREMELY good at randomizing banks or patches
Years ago (on the Atari:-) I could managed to create 
lots of great sounds for matrix 1000 UWave I and TG77. 
I have also noticed playing with many other synths D110 K5 
Jd800/Jd990 ultraproteus Prophecy .. that the more complex 
is the nature of the synth/engine/parameters the better the results, 
at least to my ears ! 
(if u are not in to experimental music u may disagree) 
.. m1000 UWave tg77 being the champions in this respect 
but the jd800/jd990 combo also never end to surprise me ..  
 
XOR/Unisyn has what i always wanted .. u select 1 patch u like 
then a second one and it can progressively 
create a morphing bank of variations and permutations of the 2 
with some kind of adjustable rules .. 
(Any synth company should embed this in ROM on any synth :-)  

such a pity that .. 
num 1     AN1x is not supported :-( 
and num 2 Soundiver doesn't allow the same degree 
of randomization control :-(

PS: The Xpander has been sold (not to me !)
i can come back to sleep :-)) .. better focus on what i have 
that will keep me busy anyhow for next century ! :-) 

Regards
