The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Group -
I spent some time figuring out how to extract the patch names from 
the .an1 files which are in the Files section of our list.

It's a zip file that includes a text file for every patch.  So when 
you unzip it, you will see a directory structure with some files in 
the root directory.

Each patch upload has 128 file names, and the extraction process 
provided the names in a column in each file (sorry, unnumbered).  
Where you see InitNormal this means that particular patch was either 
unnamed or just blank when dumped from the synth.

The reason there's lots more file names than what you see when you go 
to the files section is that many many .an1 patch dumps are included 
in the zipped files.  So, you will need to download all the patches 
and unzip them to first get the .an1 file.  Then you can locate 
the .txt file that has the same name and view the patch contents of 
that dump.

Now we can help each other find that elusive "Drive it" patch and 
whatever other cool sounds without having to load up every dump.

Enjoy!
