The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi, all.  I'm new to this forum.  I am using a humble PLG150AN card 
in my S90ES.  I recently purchased Dave Polich's Regenerator library 
from Keyfax and discovered that it only comes with the W2B/W3B files 
needed to load the sounds onto the PLG card.  Dave Polich tells me 
the AN1 files are unavailable, apparently a casualty of our good 
friend Steve Jobs' OSX debacle.

Obviously, since my PLG card can't save AN1 files and the AN Expert 
Editor can't load W2B files, this means I cannot edit or rearrange 
the sound library in any way.  Can't alter the notes in a sequence. I 
can't even combine my own voices with the Regenerator board voices.  
Very frustrating.  

So, my question is: How can I get an AN1 file of this set?  Can I 
load the W2B files into an AN1X and then save as AN1 files?  (Not 
having an AN1X, I don't know if this is a daft question)  Anybody 
have any suggestions.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Like it says on their web site. right?

Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=VRegenerator

From the little bit of reading on the S90 I've done, it seems it should be able to 
accomodate W2b/W3b (bulk dump) files. Check out this thread:

What exactly is the problem?

what?!?!?!? This makes no sense, what does OS X have to do with your problem? OS X is 
hardly a debacle in itself by any reasonable standard.

W2b/W3b files cannot be loadd into an AN1x. This format is specific to the Motif/S90 
series w/ a PLG plug-in card, just as you have indicated you use. 

Wh not load the W2b/W3b files into the PLG150-AN as intended THEN use AN1xEdit, AN 
Expert Editor, etc. to retrieve the files in a bulk dump to .AN1 or .ANS format?

You really need to clarify what exactly the problem is and what steps you've taken so far. 
Your post comes across as a rant without any substance. Sorry, not trying to be mean.

Jon

Thanks for your reply, Jon.

Sorry if I did not explain myself well. I was trying to be brief. I 
will now give you a fuller explanation  Please forgive the length of 
this post:

The problem is that without an AN1 format file I cannot edit the 
patches, move them to different locations in the internal board 
memory or even combine them with my own patches or the excellent 
patches I have discovered on this forum.  Here's why:

1.  The only way to edit or move voices around in the internal board 
memory is using the Expert Editor.  This cannot be done from the PLG 
board's host keyboard.  All you can do is load the entire W2b bulk 
file and save an entire W2B bulk file, which will, of course be 
unchanged unless edited in some way.

1.  The only way to get a voice or group of voices into the Expert 
Editor is with a AN1 file.  It will not load W2B files.  The PLG 
cannot transmit data to the Expert Editor or anything else.  It can 
only receive date transmitted to it by the Expert Editor. Data goes 
only one way: from Expert Editor to the board.

3.  The Regenerator sound library comes only with the W2B files for 
bulk loading into the board.  I was informed that Dave Polich lost 
his AN1 files when upgrading from OS9 to OSX.  Because this 
particular upgrade caused a fair amount of grief to many of us, I
light heartedly referred to it as a "debacle."  Sorry if you didn't 
appreciate the intended humor.

End result: I've got some brilliantly programmed board voices in 
Regenerator that I cannot edit or combine with my own sounds.  This 
frustrates me. so I was seeking advice on this list as to how I 
could convert the W2B files into AN1 files.  You have already save 
me a large Ebay expenditure by eliminating the idea of using an AN1X
to convert the files.  Thanks.  Your other idea, of loading into the 
PLG and transmitting to the AN Editor, won't work because PLGs don't 
transmit data, only receive.

Remember, I am talking about the actual board voices that live on 
the PLG, not the limited tweaks you can do on the host keyboards 
voices that use the PLG voices.

So, is there any way to do this conversion?  

(Of course, I am a newbie to this stuff.  Maybe I have misunderstood 
something. That is why I am posting on this list.)

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

K.

I didn't upgrade my old Mac from OS 9 to OS X in place, added a 2nd hard drive, so I had a 
dual boot system with none of these implied transition problems. My new Mac came with 
OS X preinstalled ;-) Don't know what his issues were with the upgrade...you know what 
they say: back-up, back-up, back-up.

Yes, you are correct - PLGs don't transmit SysEx data. As often as this has been discussed, 
you'd think I'd have remembered by now...apologies.

I did a few searches on Google and found a number of threads releated to the Regeneraotr 
.anp file. The author - Dave Polich - had at one point been providing the .anp file 
excluded from the .zip archive on request (back in 2004 it seems.) If he no longer has his 
data files, have you approached him (or Keyfax) for permission to contact any of the other 
Regenerator users to acquire the missing file? Obviously he wouldn't want his data file 
being made available for distribution in a public forum such as this.


> 
> So, is there any way to do this conversion?  

No. :-( Unless you consider resampling the sounds and reusing them in another hw/sw 
sampler.

regards,

Jon

The problem with the PLG cards is that the movement of patch data is one way...you 
can move data from your computer to the board but not back again!!! So if you load 
the board voices with bulk dump files (.w2b format on Motif) you cannot further 
tweak the voices in any way. It was an unusual design decision by Yamaha to say the 
least.

For some reason Keyfax does not provide the .ans format files the editor needs when 
you order Regnerator. Not only can you not edit the individual patches you can't even 
rearrange the patches into different banks.

GOOD NEWS:

Dave Polich found an ANP file of the Regenerator patches and was 
kind enough to email them to me.  

Of course, the Expert Editor for the PLG150 doesn't load ANP files, 
only AN1 and ANS files.  No sweat.  I downloaded the AN1Edit program 
that is available in this forum's files section, loaded the ANP file 
and saved it as an AN1 file. This AN1 file loaded into my Expert 
Editor without a hitch and I am now happily editing, moving and 
swapping individual Regenerator files and combining them with my own 
voices as well as voices available on this forum.  Life is good

I emailed the AN1 file back to David Polich.  I am not certain if he 
is still associated with Keyfax, but I have also emailed them asking 
them if they want it.  If anybody else had the same problem as me, 
now is probably a good time to email Keyfax asking for the AN1 file. 
(Sharing it directly would certainly violate their copyright)

Could someone send me Dave Polich's email? I also have the Regenerator and would like to 
get the AN files that he has to go with it.

Thanks,

Hi, Joe:

The way I know how to reach him is through the S90 forum, at 
www.sninety.com.  When you join the forum, you can email other forum 
members.  His email on the forum is DavePolich.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any difficulty contacting 
him.

K.
