The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Well..this is my first question to the list.   I have had my An1x for 
a few months now but finally have some time to use it now.  I was 
playing around with An1xEdit last night and wow..that's pretty 
smooth.  But then after a while when trying to send a voice to the 
synth I get an error on the synth that says  " DevNo. NG Error "
I have checked all the midi cables, and it looks fine, any ideas why 
I am getting this error.  

Also I am just now getting into making music with synths and my 
computer and i need some help getting started.  First of all what is 
something good to sequence with.  I have cubase but I am somewhat 
lost...maybe i just need to read and play a bit more.  Are there any 
good help pages on the net...or docs on cubase.  

Well I guess that is it for now...any help would be great.  thanks a 
lot

Maybe my next post will include a song.

1st, welcome to the list.

2ns, regarding your question, check the "DeviceNo" setting on the
AN1x 
- under UTILITY/SETUP. It's usually safest to leave it set to 'all' 
unless you have more than one AN1x daisy chained off your MIDI Thru. 
Furthermore, make certain the "DeviceNo" setting on you AN1x matches 
the equivalent in AN1xEdit, i.e., if you changed the "DeviceNo" from 
'all' to '1' on your AN1x then make certain it is set the same in 
AN1xEdit. Got it? If problems persist  - post back then post back to 
the list. It might be something less obvious then the above.

Cubase, and Logic for that matter, are very deep programs and they 
offer a lot of functionality. IMHO, it's best to keep in mind that
you 
don't have to master all the features right off. There's plenty to
keep 
you busy for awhile. I'd suggest you set some realistic goals, such
as 
learning the basic of how the program handles Audio or MIDI first
then 
tackle the other. You may want to check the following sites: http://
www.cubase.net/   and   http://www.wizoo.com/   also check here at 
eGroups for more lists. I know there is a popular Mac VST list here...

oh yeah, one more thing, I think that link I posted to the Quick Disc 
Tutorial .zip had some Cubase/AN1x resources in it as well...

Hi, I just joined this list this morning, having owned an an1x since they came out... Hello to everyone else too!!
Can't help you with the first problem, but I would recommend getting a simple guide to cubase if you're going to stick with it as it can be very daunting for the new user... personally I prefer and use logic, but only got to grips with that because I spent a year trying to work cubase out.
Something which is useful, and very user friendly is sonic foundry's ACID, it will beatmatch any samples you put into it (you just draw them in wherever you want them) and you can sync you an1x to any tunes you create. You can then export your samples to cubase or logic where you can do more with them like effects and stuff, acid makes an excellent sketchpad for ideas!!
Hope this isn't frowned upon too much but I discovered this site last week http://my.dreamwiz.com/tripdog/ very usefull!!
cheers
