The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi there,

I am trying to replace my minimoog with the AN1x... I only use it for one
sound which is a filter sweep..where the resonance is at self oscillation
and then I manually sweep using the filter cutoff.

I then use thw mod wheel to induce osc mod and use osc 3 to control lfo
rate.

How can I do this on my AN1x (I have tried!)..but the resonance only goes to
102 !!??

Jon.. or anyone on the brains trust.. I'd appreciate some help as I don't
want to buy the K Station thats sits on loan in my studio which WILL do
this(it crashes all the time,resets and changes parameters by itself :-(

cheers

Hi NYMO,

Can you give me a MP3 example (min.192Kbps) of the sound you want to
achieve (with different sections: plain, modulated lfo, cutoff sweep)? 

Here's some tips:
1. Yes, resonance only goes to 102, because it also goes below 0. I
don't think that it is a limitation...

2. Turn down "Feedback" to 0 to get the most possible resonance
self-oscillation...

3. Try to use LFO with controllable depth and/or FEG to modulate
filter cutoff instead manual modulation, because at very high
resonances this modulation can be very "steppy".

Hope this help,
Regards,
Serg.

All good suggestions :-)


I would add that there is no 3rd oscillator at the Scene level on the AN1x so you won't 
be able to control LFO rate using that method. But you could do something like set 
FM Depth to +32, set FM Source2 to VCO2, reduce the VCO2 Level, and use the VCO2 
Pitch and/or Fine Tune parameters to mod the FM amount - then you could assign a 
controller in the Ctrl Matrix to increase/decrease the VCO2 Pitch amount. Kind of 
close to what you want, maybe?

Another idea - in the Files section http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files 
you will find an archive of AN1x Voices from Yamaha amongt the User Voice archives 
There is a sound bank in .mid format called 'Starter' that contains some Moog 
emulations - you might want to load this bank up and see if there's a Voice close to 
what you're after as a start off point...
