Hi

I've never done it before with the AN1x, only with another synth, and what i did then
was just turn the synth on and load the .mid file in Cakewalk or Cubase, i don't know if this was just luck or not, but it loaded the patches in the synth. :]
By the way, back up your existing patches before you do this, i didn't, and i lost some favourite patches.

I can't unzip the file. Can you re-zip them and post them on SampleLibrary.net
or forward them to me and I will post them?

Thanks,

Hey Mango

Thanx for the link! But how do you send *.mid patches to your AN1X? I'm just used to using the incredibly magnificent program AN1XEdit which uses *.an* kind of files...

Sincerely Yours,

Bjorn

Hello

     These patches can be found elsewhere. This is just a collection of
sounds downloaded from the net.

Mango is absolutely correct - there's no mystery to using a .mid 
file. All modern software sequencers - and many hardware sequencers - 
are compatible with standard MIDI files. Just use the Open... or 
Import... command in your software sequencer to open the file and hit 
'Play'. You may need to double check the track assignment in your 
sequencer is set for your AN1x. If you experience any glitch 
transmitting to your AN1x then you may find it necessary to slow down 
the tempo of your sequencer during playback of the .mid file. AN1x 
SysEx files can be very large. Indeed, it is not impossible to 
overrun the AN1x buffer resulting in garbage data being received, 
i.e., random patch generation of a most unpleasant sort ;-)

And you know - once you have the .mid data loaded into your AN1x you 
can always resave it in AN1xEdit as a .an1 if that's what you 
prefer...

regards,
Jon

p.s. - that sound bank which started this thread is made up of files 
that have been available from Yamaha for quite some time now - a good 
selection all in all :-)

Yes, be sure to check the track assignment if you are using a multi-port midi
interface. Also, you will probably need to set the AN1x global midi channel to
1. Most .mid files are made to use channel 1.

Especially if you are using the MOTU express series of midi interface. I have
had to slow AN1x .mid files down to 30bpm to get them to load properly.

I will probably upload them to SampleLibrary.net anyway. It would be nice to
have them all collected somewhere. There is a huge collection of patches for
the EX5 series on the site.
