The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi folks:

I'm using the PLG150-AN and am curious if it is possible to assign 
more than one sequence to a patch, or to alter the sequence in some 
way via controller messages.

Also, I know very little about programming synths. I owned an ESQ-1 
for years but never learned to program the thing. Any books you could 
recommend to augment the trial-by-error method.

Thanks

You can't actually assign more than one sequence to a patch (a patch
only contains a single sequence memory). However you can play more than
one sequence from a patch using the COMMON module SEQ KBD MODE and SEQ
TYPE/No parameters. It's a little bit complex to explain the various
modes, so I would advise you look up the parameters in the PLG150AN user
manual (PDF). However the basic idea is that if you set SEQ KBD MODE
parameter to either SELECT+NORMAL or SELECT+SHIFT, then you can play
different user sequence memory patterns across the keyboard (up to the
split point).

Not as such! However you can define a controller parameter that is
modulated by each note of the sequence!
