2 Scene Memories With Realtime Morphing Between Scenes
Each AN1X voice has two Scene memories which let you store "snapshots" of specific control knob settings, to effectively give you two distinct sounds - each of which are available at the touch of a Scene switch.
Scene Control Feature
You can activate the "Scene Control" feature which lets you use the Modulation Wheel (or a Foot Controller, or any other assignable continuous controller) to morph, or cross-fade between Scenes in realtime as you play. If there's a particular sound during the morph that you want to keep, you can easily store it to one of the Scene switches for the selected voice. You can even load Scene data from another voice to the current voice.
Intuitive "Modeless" System With Assignable Control Knobs
The ANX1 basically always operates in Voice Play/Edit mode, which means that you can edit the sound as you play by turning the 8 control knobs to do things like open a filter, tweak the resonance, adjust the ring modulator, reshape the envelope, and much more.
Control Knobs
Each control knob gives you quick and easy access to one of many tone generator parameters. You can even assign a specific parameter to each knob for customized control over detailed aspects of your sound during performance. Each knob can also send Control Change messages to control specific parameters of external MIDI instruments.
