The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

If you get bored with sound design, try setting up a minor 7th pad.
Set scene 1 oscillators tuned to 0 and +3. Set scene 2 oscillators
tuned to +7 and +10.

Playing with the free eg to turn the oscillator volume up and down
increases the cheese factor exponentially. Of course give all the
envelopes a slow attack time, put a little sample hold on a few
things, a triangle wave with two arrows LFO is also nice.

Got a good sound? Hit 4 octaves of A. Instant psychedelia.

My patch wound up with a slow bell-like bonging sound. I have no idea
where that came from.

Thought I would use the AN1X as a pad machine to layer with the piano
sound in the Vintage Keys module (I know, not much of a piano).


What a riot! I took one of my stock lead sounds, remembered to turn off
the distortion, switch to poly mode, and lengthen the attack. Still way
too overwhelming. Even with the high pass filter rolling off the lows,
the sound completely took over.

With the osc turned to square waves the fm turned off and a few other
things to emasculate the sound I did get something that resembled a
pad. I switched it back to the way I had it before. A much more
interesting sound.

The AN1X can certainly dial in some punchy sounds.
