The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Well, having quite some synths with high bandwidth, I prefere to use an EQ to 
narrow the bandwidth of a synths signal, some synths even have built in ones that 
can be saved with the sound, like the AN200 and I guess the AN1x can do that 
too...
Anyway, it depends of the rest of the mix what frequencies you realy need, a high 
hiss pad sound at the end of the sprectre can just round up the middle and higher 
frequencies, if there's room for it. In other cases deep down pads an rising 
basses can be fine, if the music is not kick based...
I know mixing is less work if the synth is a bit specialised and limited 
frequency wise, but it imho limits sounddesign greatly... 
Anyway, the AN seems to be quite pleasing to my ears for instance compared to the 
Roland JP synths...
