"Underneath the hood of the AN200 with the PLG150-AN (The PLG150-AN can be installed inside the Motif ES, Motif Classic, CS6X, CS6R, S80 and S30 to add an Analog Synth to your Keyboard!) is an analog physical modeling synthesizer that's capable of producing the incredibly fat resonant sounds of those enormous analog synthesizers of the 70's and early 80's.

It provides all the essential sound building components, including 2 VCO's, 6 filter types, frequency modulation, pitch sync, VCO sync, filter EG, LFO and more! Plus it gives you a full 5 notes of polyphony (unlike the 2 notes found in most other physical modeling synthesizers), so you can play ultra thick chords by connecting it to a MIDI keyboard. Like the DX200, it's also equipped with over one hundred rhythm sounds and a 16-step analog-style sequencer for creating your own original dance tracks.

This video was originally uploaded in 2010. I've since remastered it for better audio quality and video performance.

Yamaha PSR4600: Airplane Drone
Yamaha RS7000: Sequencing -Drums, Bass, Synths
Korg MS2000: Pads
Yamaha AN200: Space FX
Yamaha MO6: Lead
Akai Miniak: Sound FX and Pads

The Yamaha PSR4600 is a rare "Arranger" keyboard from 1990-1991. Features a 1st generation AWM synthesis and a 2 OP FM synth. All voices can be edited to some degree. Edited voices are retained after power off.
Some sounds feature a bit of vector sequencing, much like a Yamaha TG-33.
The editing consists of just a few parameters for envelope, LFO speed & depth, FM feedback and velocity.
Instead of pitch and modulation wheels, it has roll bars. The bars are firm and well made.
Velocity sensitive keys can be enabled/disabled.
A simple 5 track sequencer.
MIDI in/out/thru
Digital reverb (hall, room & echo)
also has a weird solo mode with arpeggio-like features.

I affectionately call it 'The Albatross'."

"February" - 80.1 BPM relaxed synth jam (EX5, AN200, Novation PEAK, Acoustioc Guitar, Piano)

Published on Feb 4, 2019 Floyd Steinberg

"Here's a track made with 3 synthesizers (PEAK, AN200, EX5) and acoustic guitar and piano. Recorded on a ZOOM R24. The EP-like sound is the PEAK. Drums & pad is the AN200, EX5 is doing sequencing & stuff. No effects pedal on this track, only the built-in effects were used."

Side note: I own a DX200 myself. The AN200 is a VA/analog modeling and the DX200 is 6-OP FM - essentially a full DX7 with VA filter in a groovebox. When the AN200 comes in above it has a similar character to the DX200. The synth engines are different but running through the filter and effects colors them in a similar way.

"I just puched down an arp on the juno 60 and then the 'hold' button. Made some matching drums on the an200, played a delay-ed sound on top of it all.

Sound is through a korg KM402 kaoss mixer. Just some jamming on my own."

"This is a 5-voice AN1X with an additional 3 track groovebox style sequencer with built-in AWM2 waveforms for rhythm, bass and fx samples. Entire compositions can be easily made on this box or use it's innovative realtime performance features to create beats to songs on the fly. It has a 4 track free-style parameter sequencer/complex envelope looping generator. This allow you to create high-speed, complex modulatation waveforms to use in any 4 parameters at once. This feature allows you to introduce an endless variety of natural variation into the timbral elements that make up the sound. It gives the sound of the AN200 a kind of animation within the sound, the same way a filter sweep or PWM does, or even oscillator sync. It indeed makes the sound come alive. Because these tracks work at high speeds it gives the AN200 a unique feature not found in other analog modeled synths. Yamaha also includes extra features and routing not found in your typical modeled synths. There's different kinds of sync, FM configurations, new oscillator types, etc. All these features allow this to produce a wide range of all the classic analog synths as well as many hybrid sounds never heard before. It basic design is based on a morphing architecture. That means each preset is made up of two sounds. There is one morphing knob that lets you choose to hear either sound by itself(at the extreme ends), or a true morphed variable combination of the two. Note that this feature doesn't simply crossfade the amplitudes of the sounds the way a mixer would across two tracks. The knob actually adjust each parameter of the first sound towards the values of the other parameters that define the 2nd sound. It's a true morphing function and sounds radically different than simple crossfading. With this revolutionary architecture, almost any animated electronic sound can be realized on this synthesizer.

Here's another description that you may find helpful:

This uses the identical digital circuitry and chips as in the classic AN1X synthesizer, and Yamaha PLG150-AN Plug-in Board for the Motif, CS6X, MU90, MU100, MU128, MU2000, S80, S90, etc, as well as the Keyton plugin box. What makes this technology stand apart from the other virtuals is that Yamaha modelled AN after a SCI Prophet 5, Oberheim, and a MiniMoog Model D. You can get all these types sound character, plus much more you never heard before. This synth has broken new ground in synthesis and sound development by taking the critical elements from these vintage models and fusing them together in an incredibly flexible way. Some highlights are, two main Oscillators, one sub. Oscillators can be patched in series for one to modulate the other in the audio spectrum well above what an LFO can achieve as well as filter/OSC modulation. PWM, different kinds of sync, ring, multimode filter, matrix modulation, etc. However Yamaha didn't stop there, they included a 4 track high resolution free-form envelope generator where each of the 4 tracks are recorded in realtime using any controller knob, then can be assigned/re-assigned to any parameter for automatically generating the ultimate timbral ANIMATION in sync with each key trigger, or even in a random, free-running mode. That alone makes it sound bright and alive. The second revolutionary feature when this came out, was realtime morphing between two scenes, which are really the same as saying two different patches. So for example you can truly morph a Taurus bass into a dark and clangorous series of Cathedral Bells. This is a real morph between two distinct sounds, not simply an amplitude crossfade. This transitional effect sounds radically different and punches thru any mix. This effect really starts getting the AN sound outstandingly close to the kind of animation the Minimoog invoke."

Yamaha AN200 does the 303 by Alien Robot Dance

YouTube via se7ense7

"I'm making lots of vintage-sound-influenced music (with a modern touch) and I was thinking bout using some 303 sounds. I don't like software clones though but a real 303 (or even a hardware clone) is too expensive so I just sat down to create a 303 patch on my trusty Yamaha AN200... I think I came rather close to the original, not identical, not by far, but close enough to use in my songs and very tweakable just like the real thing (much more tweakable actually, but I kept it simple for this little clip)...

Boring vid, it's about the sounds though..."

Yamaha AN200 Demo

I finally got around to listening to the Yamaha AN200 demo linked to in this previous post. The demo mp3 is being hosted on a file share site here. It took forever for me to download on a cable connection so I thought I'd put it up on Twango for others to enjoy without the wait. It is probably the most diverse demo of a synth I have heard to date. At first I questioned the auction's claims to the AN1X being designed to emulate the TB-303, Prophet-5 and Minimoog, but you can clearly hear the emulations and more in this demo. Hit play and check out the other posts for the day. This marks number 40! Must... take... a... break...

Zaquencer/Beatstep Pro Jam (June 6 2016)

Published on Jun 6, 2016 stereofect

"This time I use Zaquencer to not only sequence my synths but also sync up the Beatstep Pro to Zaquencer. Zaquencer is on X5Dr, Mopho and anode duty while the Beastep Pro handles drums and the AN200. I, of course, play lead on the Bass Station II. An Oxygen8 is used to transpose both Zaquencer and the Beatstep Pro.

Gear used:

Mopho Desktop
Korg X5DR
Meeblip anode
Yamaha AN200
Novation Bass Station II
Boss DR-550 MKII
BCR2000 running Zaquencer
Arturia Beatstep Pro

Hope you like it!

Cheers!!"

YAMAHA AN200 Groove Box demo - half an AN1X, twice an EX5

Published on Dec 15, 2018 Floyd Steinberg

"I recently found out this machine exists, so I found one on eBay and bought it. The Yamaha AN200 is a groove box from 2001, equipped with a PLG-150 AN extension card, which uses the same sound engine as the AN1X or the EX5, but with 5 voice polyphony. I did not spend much time with this yet, just dialed in some sounds and made this short demo. As expected, you can create some powerful sounds with this."

ZOOM ARQ96, EX5, Yamaha AN200, Reface DX patch challenge: marimba, orchestral stab & smooth brass

Published on Feb 25, 2019 Floyd Steinberg

"Here's my entry to the latest 'classic synth patches challenge'. The challenge requires the use of certain classic synth sounds to create a new track (this time: Marimba, an 80s orchestral blast, and the 'smooth brass' sound found in songs by Toto and other 80s acts). The ZOOM ARQ96 is sequencing, playing drums&bass. Reface DX does the marimba sound. Yamaha AN200 does the soft brass / arpegiator stuff. PEAK plays the high-pitched arpeggiated notes and the EX5 does that lead whistle thing."
