The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi,

Aswell as my problems with the pops and clicks when turning the AN1x
on I have another problem.
The problem is that when I am editing sounds by turning certain knobs
in the VCF page the values move about. An example I have is when I set
the value on the filter cutoff to 0 it automatically moves back up to
97 and moves between 97 and 91. It also affects the sound.

I am findng this very annoying as it is depriving me from editing
sounds.

I am a very unhappy man:(

Hello Arthur!
this new problem is not very serious : the pots must be dirty, just
clean them (inside!) with a contact cleaner sold in any electronics
shop. Avoid solvents such as alcohol, trichlorethylene or thinners ...
Once you have opened your synth to clean the pots, check if all the card
connectors, ribbon cables are firmly plugged ... maybe a bad contact
somewhere could lead to this kind of "random value" problems .
I hope that it helps !

Thanks for all of the replies but I have noticed that when I do an
entire factory reset and load the original sounds the problem is
solved until I load in the sounds from AN1xEdit again where I get
the problem again with the VCF cutoff behaving very strangly.

I wonder if its the sounds that I am sending from AN1xEdit to my
AN1x which is causing the problem with the VCF cutoff?

Another thing I have found out is that I created a sweep sound on
the AN1x and saved it to AN1xEdit on my computer. When I go to load
that sound back to my AN1x from the computer it doesn't sound like
it should because the VCF cutoff goes crazy.

Which bank of user Voices are you loading into the AN1x? And did ou download the bank
from the Files section for AN1x-list here at Yahoo! GRoups or elsewhere?

Why don't you load an example in .AN1 formate into the Voices directory of the Files
section so we can see what
s up?

I am beginning to wonder if the problem is due to a bug in my AN1x
as its very tempremental - one minute the sounds are ok with the VCF
cutoff behaving itself and then the next minute they are sounding
strange with the VCF cutoff going back to value 97 when I try to
turn it to value 0 and so on.

Arthur,

It's not a bug, it's typical wear and tear. As you've probably learned by now, but I'll restate
it anyway, turning a Control knob while pressing it allows for fine editing adjustments, i.e.,
allows you to dial in a specific value - simply turning a Control knob left or right allows for
a larger increase or decrease in the value range.

If the previous owner was a bit ham fisted, then the encoders on your AN1x may have
been subjected to more wear and tear then necessary. They tend to become a little jumpy
under ordinary use - particularly Control Knobs that are frequently accessed such as
Assign Knobs 5 & 6 - which happen to be Filter Cutoff and Resonance. The best thing to
do is to follow the recommendations put forward by Jeff and Bob and clean the encoders
using the suggested solvent. This is not untypical when purchasing used gear :-/

You've restated the problem and it's understood, but you didn't answer the inquiries for
more information from your previous email:

Is this happening all the time, regardless of whether it is the Factory Voices or User
Voices? If so, then try and clean the encoders as suggested.

If this is happening only on select Voices, then it is possible some data corruption might
have occurred during the SysEx transfer or perhaps there is an erroneous controller
mapped to the VCF Cutoff that you are not aware of. Providing a specific example that
somebody might be able to reproduce would allow further effort to be made in
troubleshooting this issue. Some details on your system might be helpful too - such as the
type, make and model of MIDI Interface you are using and which set of drivers are in play.

Regards,

Jon

Hi, Jon I have noticed that when I switch the AN1x on after it being
off for a while the edit indicator appears on the display screen
even though I have not touched any buttons or knobs. That is when
the strange behavour of the VCF cutoff happens and the sounds act
strange. The OS version of my AN1x is v1.02.

To answer your question to what MIDI interface I am using, I am
using the MIDIMAN USB 2X2 MIDISPORT with the latest drivers. The
program I am using is AN1xEdit V1.021.

Because the AN1x is smart enough to remember your last edit when powered off. This is
normal behaviour.

Try this:

Select any Voice - the EDIT indicator will not be displayed.

Choose VCF from the Knob Parameter Group. Alter the VCF Cutoff value - the EDIT
indicator will be displayed.

Power off your AN1x.

Power on you AN1x - the EDIT indicator will be displayed and your last edit will be
retained in memory.

Select another Voice - the EDIT indicator will not be displayed.

Power off your AN1x.

Power on you AN1x - the EDIT indicator will not be displayed (obviously because you were
not inEDIT mode when it was powered off!)

The OS Version has nothing to do with this issue.

Jon

Thanks for your reply, but I haven't edited anything before I
switched the synth off. All the presets I go through on the synth
have the edit indicator on the display screen even though I have
touched no controls and buttons and what I have already said happens.

I did another factory reset and the problem seems to have
disappeared so far even though I hear some filter LFO sounds on a
couple of basic string pad presets that should not be there.

I will post the AN1xEdit file to you and see if that happens on your
machine.

Of course you realize transfering a Voice from AN1xEdit will place the program location
into which you transfered into EDIT mode, right?

You mean filter LFO modulation - and which Voices specifically? How do you know the
modulation should not present? Is your Mod Wheel turned up by any chance?

Okay.

Could it be a sticky ribbon?

Has anyone noticed a glitch at the beginning of the attack (set at 0) with the AN1x?
I remember this happened with the DX7 as a result of the start of the wave resetting at the same point every time the key triggered. There was a setting in the DX7 that would have the waveform drift free and avoid the effect.
Is there some way of getting round this with the AN1x or have I overdone the feedback or something?

Regards
Rob.

No, perhaps somebody else has...

Might be too much Feedback in the VCA ;-) or it might be you have LFO Reset set to
KeyOn and the value for LFO Speed or Depth are way too high for the sound you are
aiming for.

Hello Rob !
have a look at the feedback setting is a good idea.
The synthesis method of the DX7 was very different with FM (a sine wave

Thanks for the response but it seems to be more noticable on bassier sounds and dissapears when the VCF is turned all the way down so its something before the filter or the filter itself perhaps.
It can be solved by softening the main VCA attack but I'd like to know why its happening in the forst place.
The same thing happens in mono mode so its not running out of polyphony.

Might be too much Feedback in the VCA ;-) or it might be you have LFO Reset set to
KeyOn and the value for LFO Speed or Depth are way too high for the sound you are
aiming for.

Thanks Jeff but I know the DX7 uses operators (was my first of many synths) but a similar thing happend on the DX as a side effect of the waveform resetting from the same point on every note trigger (very noticable on soft percussive sounds) and not freely drifting which there was a setting for.

I'm 50% sure it could be something to do with the VCF attack.

Could it be a latency fault between the two envelopes?

Hello Rob !

Do you mean when the VCF Cutoff is reduced or the Envelope Depth?

Can you provide a specific Voice as an example?

Ok, now I've noticed this in a lot of synths, and not just the an1x,
if you have the VCA's volume up to 127 it seems to pop at the
beginning of the note. I've solved this by not having it up to 127,
and if it still seems low, then I'll leave it high and just roll off
the attack just a tiny bit. But generally having the VCA not at 127
seems to help in most cases.

Ahh yes turning down the VCA does help although doesn't totally solve the problem. You don't need to roll off as much attack this way either.

Many thanks

Rob. ;-)

Just a guess: a clicking attack sound can be easily produced if the
FEG has an abrupt attack and decay, and the FEG depth is set high.
Sometimes this is used for the attack on a Pick Bass, or the keyclick
on an Organ patch. -Steve

Rob,
I'll have to check and see what my patches are set at on the VCA
volume. In the meantime, you may even have to pulll them down a bit
more. Also, do check your feedback setting as well. hope this helps
a little and let me know if you need me to check those settings.
