The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thanks for the reply - I haven't found the right sound yet, but am 
trying to fiddle with the downloaded sounds from the UK site - This 
serves two purposes, it helps me find the right sound, while it helps 
me get better with the editor and the general programming of the 
synth.

MY band (rock/blues cover band) loves the fuller sound the An 
produces as opposed to some of the other sampled rack units I had 
been using. We don't use a lot of synth in our material, but some 
newer stuff is allowing me a few lead lines and mice pads.

To the group in general.....

What are some of your favorite live performance sounds - realizing we 
all ahve different genres, etc.

Any special setups for the assignable control knobs, e.g., filter 
sweeps, etc for live performance.

Thanks again and sorry for any dumb questions...!
