The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I've added a Logic Folder to the Files section and uploaded a number of
Logic Environments for use with the AN* synths:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files

The Jetronic Homepage .zip has the fantastic Step Sequencer and
Variation Effect Environments. These are absolutely awesome, IMO. You
should check out his site too:

http://home.debitel.net/user/rutzen/index.htm

The PLG150AN Enviroment is designed for the PLG150AN card (obviously)
but, since it's all in SysEx there's no reason it won't work with the
AN1x proper too! The user who made this provided a text file with some
details. Apparently he uses the card in a S80 so this env should be of
interest to CS6x users on the list. I liberated this from the user
group collection at Swiftkick.com

The third enviroment is AN1x CCM and this is my own. There are three
layers to this enviroment: AN1x Mode 1, AN1x Mode 2, and AN1x LFO.
Check out the Control Change Modes table on page 9 of the Data List
book and you'll quickly see what's what. Your AN1x *must* be in mode 2
for the Mode 2 and LFO layers to work correctly. The AN1x LFO layer is
just something I through together where you can reference the LFO1 and
LFO2 Speed parameters by the actual Herz values as opposed to the 1-256
values displayed on the AN1x. I might do something more with this layer
- but I'm uncertain at this point where to take it. But it's a simple
enough matter for you to cut and paste the bits you like for your own
environment. BTW - a multi-instrument is included with the preset Voice
names too.

The only advantage my environment offers over the PLG150AN env is that
mine is entirely MIDI CC's where as his is entirely in SysEx. That
means less hogging of the MIDI bandwidth but, as mentioned, your AN1x
must be in Mode 2. The PLG150AN env is prettier, by far, then mine and
does not require you to place your AN1x into Mode 2. IMO, there's no
reason not to use Mode 2.

Credit where credit is due:

My env is a version of the original logic env provided by Yamaha in one
of their original download files ('Quickdisc Tutorial Set'.) I added
the missing Knob Parameter groups and reset buttons. The code for the
reset buttons was lifted from an Ensoniq MR env and reworked
accordingly to fit the AN1x parameters ;-) *Big thx to Reg* for
getting me started with the SysEx in the AN1x LFO layer. The LFO Herz
values are from the spreadsheet provided by Yamaha Japan earlier this
year (alos available for download in the Files section.)

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback - let me know.

Hello Jon. I'm a Logic user, but I can't quite understand the
usefulness of an environment for the AN1x: if you can tweak all
parameters on the synth dead easily, and you can do the same on
AN1xEdit, what's the point of also being able to do it in Logic? Or
are you using it for something that hasn't occurred to me yet? (Apart
from the Hz readings instead of "meaningless" number values, which I
can dig. And the fact that AN1xEdit and Logic won't run at the same
time. And so as not to have to move your gaze from the monitor. Huh,
guess I've just worked it out....)

Cheers,
Mart
(I've added my set-up to the database as well)

In a word: automation. It nice to have ALL the parameters available
from one screen for quick and easy automation. Think of Logic as a
great big, "Free EG" - get it?

Have you checked out the amazing Jetsonic environments? Tell me the
Step Sequencer isn't more inviting to programming from that env then
from the front panel. And having access to ALL an effects parameters
within a disply is handy too.

Not to mention those users with a PLG150AN card attached to a SW1000XG
thingy or a MU rack mount or Plugstation or CS6x or S80.

What's up with Logic and AN1xEdit not running simultaneously? Are you
on Win or Mac (I don't recall if you've said so.) I'm able to use Logic
Audio and AN1xEdit simultaneously using OMS on a Power Mac G3 w/ OS
9.1. If you're on a Mac I'll be happy to discuss my configuration with
you.

I use a PC. I don't know why they don't work together, and I haven't
investigated it at all, so, er, er, god knows. I'm sure they CAN run
side by side, but my PC and the version of Logic Audio I use (special
kind of Silver that comes with the MaxiSound Isis card) have never
got on very well anyway: lots of error messages, system overloads,
crap like that. It all worked a dream with the Audiowerk 8 I used to
have and with the previous Isis drivers, but then I installed the new
ones and it all went a bit mad.

Sorry, this really has nothing at all to do with the AN1x, so I'll
shut up. But it's funny, I can get Logic to run with ReBirth and
FruityLoops, just not AN1xEdit.

Cheers,
Mart
(will be installing those environments tonight, I'll let you know...)

Hello,

> > What's up with Logic and AN1xEdit not running simultaneously? Are

It might be that AN1xEdit and Logic are both trying to get control of the
same midi ports. To solve the problem you're going to need virtual midi
cable for example Hubi's Virtual Midi Cable.

To keep conversation under the current topic ;-) ...

I downloaded Logic environment for PLG(ungh what it was) to use it with
AN200... but I cannot get it working. When I open it to logic it says
converting from mac version (- yes, I'm using PC) then if I click one of the
objects in the environment it gives me error message something like (hope I
can remember it even somehow correctly): Illegal data, please delete and
create all obejcts again).

Anyone having working AN* environment for PC???

The environments are crossplatform. There is no 'Mac or PC'
type for enviroments. The fact that it imported and you can see
the individual faders is proof enough.

First guess: Y need to update the PLG150AN object in the
PLG150AN env to match the MIDI port and definition of your
AN200. This env has a PLG150AN defined to a S80 which
obviously does not match your set-up.

The other possibility: Could be the SysEx identifier for the AN200
is different from the PLG150AN. This is possible and would
require massive updates to the PLG150AN env as each fader
objects in this env are coded with the appropriate SysEx string
for that function. Not fun. You might want to try one of the other
env's coded w/ MIDI CC's and see if your AN200 responds.
Check the MIDI Implementation chart for your AN200 - does it
match up to the AN1x? You can find this info in the online
manual. Is there an online version of the AN200 manual?

good luck.

Jon

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the answer... though I'm new with logic so the error might be
there too. Currently I'm reading users manual and beginners guide to the
environment just to understand whole concept behind the program :-/ ...
it's not the easiest one to get up and running... but I'll try your
suggestions and let's see what happens.

AN200 should match to AN1x sysex vice, though some parameters are different.
AN200 online manual you can find here http://www.yamaha.co.uk and then click
on manual library...

Cheers,
TimoS

Thx for the link. No, don't upload it to the files section we've less

Try this (after importing the PLG150AN Env):

In the Environment, go to the layer 'Clicks & Ports'

Locate the object 'PLG-AN150'; Click on the icon of the MIDI port
immediately above the 4x4 grid of the multi-instrument; On the left
hand side of your screen you should see the parameter box for the
instrument object; Click on the space adjacent to where it says Port
and choose the port your AN200 MIDI in/out connection is attached;
Then, where it says Cha select ALL.

Now, back to the PLG-AN150 object - the 4x4 grid represents the 16
available MIDI channels in a multi-instrument (that's Emagic-speak
for multitimbral device). Click on the numbered grid box, '1' for
example, that you have set up your AN200 to receive on; Double
check the parameter box setting for Channel 1 are correct, i.e., Port
should equal the physical port and Cha should equal '1'. You should
now be able to toggle to the Arrange page in Logic and set a track
to play your AN200 on Cha 1. If this is working then you can go to
the
Environment layer 'PLG150AN' and the SysEx commands should be
received correctly by the AN200. I tested is again with my AN1x and
it works fine - occasionally the AN1x will complain of a SysEx
receive error :-( but that's no big deal.

It's important to remember that this is a one way connection, i.e.,
Logic will not know the parameter values of the active Voice in your
AN200. When you move a slider in this environment you are sending
a SysEx string with parameter values that will overwrite the active
Voice so, while it similar to a parameter offset, it's really not.
Make
sense? For all intents is the same thing...

I downloaded the manual and gave it a *quick* once over. It looks
like the LSB/MSB Device Number Code are NOT the same for the
AN200 ( 02H 05H ) as the AN1x ( 1A 02 ). This is not my strong suite
but
I suspect this could be a problem?!

Hi Jon,

I Got it working, I just needed to delete those objects which were created
by logic I guess, I don't know what objects they were but they have General
Midi icon ??? Then I just changed the midi output port (driver?) in every
possible place in the environment and it worked... at least I was able to
change voice settings of my AN200.

But yes, there are some little differences, most parameters are working ok,
but for example I was not able to switch on unison mode. So it seems that
there are some things to change - oh, my where I'm going to steal some
extra time to examine and do those - anyway it will be easier to start
working with that environment than start it from nothing.

One (stupid?) question still, since I was little short with time yesterday
evening I didn't have time to try real sequencing with environment
involved - I just tried some sound tweaking. So I wonder does Logic work
this way: if I open Logic file with some sequencing and environment for my
AN200 and in the environment there are voice settings set, will Logic
automatically send those settings to my synth?

Cheers,
TimoS

Okay, I'm 99% certain you didn't need to take any action on any other
env object other than the 'PLG-150AN' object but that's okay - you got
it working! That's terrific!!! :-)

I didn't test *every* parameter with my AN1x so I can't say off the top
of my head whether the same is true or not. It works in the environment
layer _I_ made :-P ha ha ha

The answer is: it depends.

Logic will automatically send volume, pan, patch changes if the
preferences are set to do so...don't recall where this pref setting is
made :-( As for the Fader settings, I'm almost certain this can be done
too but I don't know how without cracking the manual. Think I saw this
very topic on the Logic users list. I think this is an option you'd
want to use with some caution, yes? Yes.

Why? ... So are you saying that it is not good thing to use environment to
set up your synth when you open sequence??? I would like environment to be
like synth editor too, so what I need to do is just power up my AN200 and
never need to touch its settings by hand because everything will be setup
when I open my Logic song. Is that not possible? Reason for this is that if
AN200 does not support one patch sysex dumps, using environment would be
good workaround, plus I will gain one extra feature: access to all hidden
parameters. :-) ...

Duh. This is done in the Parameter box on the left hand side of the
Arrange page for each active Track.

Yes, I believe it is but, like I said - I don't recall how without
opening the manual. Also, what if you have a Voice stored on your AN200
and you 'automatically' overwrite it when your Logic env loads? This is
the type of thing you need to keep in mind when using automation. Maybe
it wouldn't be a problem for you...I can't say.

Oh, you shouldn't worry about me - I'm maniac to saving ;-D

OK, I whacked the AN1x environments into Logic yesterday, together
with one I found for my recently acquired Roland MKS-50.

I recorded a sequence for the AN, and another for the Roland, and
began to tweak. Great fun with the MKS-50, it faithfully did what it
should both when recording tweaks and simply tweaking during
playback, but I could only get the AN1x env to respond in record
mode, which I thought was odd. What exactly is this business of Mode
1 and Mode 2? Are we referring to the Layer button? I've checked the
manual, but that provides little help.

Anyway I'm mighty impressed by the people that create these things; I
wouldn't know where to start.

Hello,

have a look at the extra data list manual
there is a detail table of mode 1 midi and mode 2
u have to be careful which one are u in , otherwise
the midi CC will not work as u would expect them.
U need , I think mode 2 in order to map all the CC to the
editing parameters

ciao

See page 96 of the Owner's Manual and Page 9 of the Data List. I've
replicated the instructions for changing modes in the Env help (text
faders) as well.

And no, mode 1 & 2 have nothing to do with the Layer button. It's
merely a "mode" where the AN1x will respond to MIDI CC's for each
parameter.

Jon

Hi there,

Last night I tried to see which Mode my AN1x is in by following the
instructions: power off, press and hold Assign, power on. Nothing
happened. The synth just powered up as normal. I tried and tried, but
to no avail. Any ideas why that could be (or another way of finding
out about the Mode it's in)?

Gggrrrrr.....

Either 'mode 1' or 'mode 2' will display on the LCD at power up. There
is no other action to take other than [ASSIGN] and [POWER]
simultaneously.

There had been another user some months ago with the same problem
description. We never pinned it down as to what was happening with his
AN1x. Try again and pay attention to the LCD - if still nothing
than...?!?

No offense intended.

his AN1x.

My AN1X has the same problem, there is no status-screen for mode 1 or
2. I have figured it out, (a long time ago, don't know the details
anymore) to see what commands/functions are in mode 2 and not in mode
1, and trying to see what way the AN1X reacts to some tweaking with
AN1X edit --> if nothing will happen to mode 2 commands (no change of
sound), the AN1X must be in mode 1. If something happens with the
sound the synth is in mode 2 --> I prefer mode 2 because you have
more controle over the AN1X.

maybe this helps...???
