Yamaha AN1x Sound Demos

Yamaha AN1x Sound Demos by SpotlightKid
"A small collection of sound demos from the Yamaha AN1x virtual analog synthesizer.

All sounds from the AN1x except guitar and drums in the last bit. No external effects except light multi-compression on the stero-bus in the DAW and normalization.

All sounds programmed by me or modified factory presets except where indicated in timed comments.

Recorded with a M-Audio Fast Track Pro and Reaper 4, mastered with Tracktion 3."

Yamaha AN1X Incredible 2 Demo Sounds HD no talking

"Yamaha AN1X (my version i have modified) this is a vintage synthesizer that never ceases to amaze me with its capabilities over the years. It produces millions of unique sounds that you can dream, fall asleep to, imagine a fantasy world and just enjoy what this unique synthesizer of the late 90s can generate. Its minor flaws do not bother me in order to love this synthesizer, which the modern manufacturer Yamaha still cannot repeat. ;-)

Its sound is pure as a baby's tear, unlike the sound of the Virus TI synthesizer, for example. In what order would I sell the VA synths? Clavia would be the first to sell everything. Many Korg from this category VA would also put up for sale. Roland JP80xx got tired after 5 days. Wouldn't leave a single Waldorf! Novation Supernova 2 would also sell without regret. Without Virus TI, my life would not be boring. Alesis ION would not have stayed with me. And only AN1x I would sell the very last turn.

What is the uniqueness of AN1x? If you understand how the music of the 90s differed from our days, how vinyl differs from CD, then you will understand that AN1X is also unique."

The Yamaha AN1x - Poor Man's Buchla & Serge? One Underrated Synth...

This one in via Rolf Eichert: "I am a regular visitor of Matrixsynth page and I am surprised about the huge numbers of Serge & Buchlas around especially if you think about the price tag involved. Here are a few examples of a very underrated Yamaha AN1x Virtual Analog Physical Modeling Synth. Polyphonic subtractive synthesis, FM, Sync, RingMod, Noise are available simultanously, Includes Editor, Modulation Matrix, 4 controller data can be drawn on the Computer screen. Oscillator waveforms, resonance, LFO speed, ADSR times.... can be modulated, This synth is capable of extremly short click & percussive sounds. 10 voice or 2 x 5 voice - unison - split - layer - morphing. The regular analog things you would expect it does as well, If I could only take one synth to a remote island this would be it. What is better than an AN1x? Two AN1x! Cost you about 600,00 to 700,00 US$ (for both!)"

MIDI Mod on the iPhone as a Performance Utility - an AN1x style patch on the Prophet Rev2

Published on Jan 9, 2020 thesrabbit

MIDI Mod Overview video further below. You can find it in the App Store here.

Spotted this one on discchord.

"I love the sound of the AN1x, but programming it is not the quickest experience. The Rev2 has similar capabilities from a sound design perspective (plus a whole lot of things that the AN1x can't do). However, the AN1x has an awesome effects section that blows away that of most modern synths. In this video, I use MIDI Mod to do some fairly simple routings, just using the Mod Matrix. No LFO's, envelopes, arps, or anything else.

MIDI Mod is running on an iPhone X, hooked up to the MeeBlip Cubit Go via USB. MIDI out of the Cubit Go is running to the MIDI In on the Rev2. And MIDI Out of the Rev 2 is going to MIDI In on the Cubit Go. This gives MIDI Mod 2-way communication with the Rev2. Now this could easily be done without DIN cables at all, just connecting MIDI Mod directly to the Rev2 over USB. But later in the video, external effects are added to level the playing field with the AN1x on that front, somewhat. One of the pedals (Ventris Dual Reverb) has a MIDI input and so there's a MIDI DIN cable running to that as well.

The idea behind the patch isn't to recreate the exact patch on the Rev2, but to create a similar patch from a structural point of view. 2 layers, one as a pad, and 1 as an arp spanning multiple octaves. With the ability to fade the arp in and out via the modwheel. "Program Volume" is not a modulation destination on the Rev2 itself, but we can easily access it with MIDI Mod (or almost any other of the bazillion parameters on the Rev2).

In addition, Note (MIDI Note) is routed to Layer A Pan Spread and Layer B Pan Spread on two different slots. Layer A has the arp, and so the range is set to 63-127 to throw the voices out wider. Layer B is the pad, so the range is restricted to 0-12 to keep things more centered, which makes that aspect of the sound a little more meaty, especially the lower notes. This can easily be adjusted to taste.

Finally, the modwheel is assigned to the pre-delay time of the Ventris later on in the video when the external effects are brought in.

The point of this is to illustrate what you might do with MIDI Mod in a pinch, to get that little extra something. Made even easier now that you can do it just by using your phone!

MIDI Mod for iPad - Full Overview with the Yamaha Reface CS

Published on Jul 6, 2019 thesrabbit

"This video uses the Yamaha Reface CS and Arturia Keystep to provide a full rundown of MIDI Mod's major features, including:

LFOs
Envelopes
Arpeggiator
Mod Matrix
Sync and App Settings

MIDI Mod's Main Features:
4 LFOs
3 Envelopes (delay and hold, loopable, 2 ADSR, one 4-stage with individual level controls)
Arpeggiator with an auto-transpose sequencer (sequencer of a sequence) and modulation capabilities
32-slot mod matrix with fine tune value ranges for each assignment and inversion (negative)
Mod sources include the LFOs, envelopes, arp note on, arp note off, and when used with an external keyboard, you get Aftertouch, Velocity, note (key tracking), Pitchbend, Modwheel, and expression as mod sources.

What sets MIDI Mod apart is ease of use when making assignments. It comes with over 50 pre-defined device mappings. So there's no need to dig through your user manual or midi implementation chart. Just select the manufacturer, model, and parameter name from the menu. Additionally, you have a ton of internal routings that can be made. For example, LFO 2 could modulate LFO 1's rate, Envelope 2 could control LFO 2's mod depth, and so on."

Yamaha AN1x - Some patches

Published on Feb 12, 2014 roboticrealm

"Yamaha AN1x

Digital virtual analog synthesizer from 1997.
Though not a true analog synth, and not as
"fat" (whatever that is) sounding I think this
synth is really inspiring and has an enourmous
range of different sounds.

All the patches you hear in this video I found
on the internet. I think I've only made about
two of them myself. So credit goes to all the
skilled programmers out there who programmed
these great sounds! With my video I just want
to show you what this synth sounds like.

Thanks for watching and listening! I hope you like it!

Yamaha AN1x pure - Demo 1

YouTube via DrSqu

"This demo i made with audiotracks in Logic sequencer. Every sound is a audiotrack. All sounds drums fx etc. are pure from Yamaha AN1x. No add of external FX, or dynamic FX, used internal DSP.

Yamaha AN1x is often underrated because it seems behind the poor plastic cover being nothing. Of corse, in basic it's never so powerfully like a real old analog synthesizer. But with some tricky rules you can create fat sounds. It's also not another virtual analog synthesizer, it make some other strange, funny and mindblasting sounds ... and noises :)

X-Rays (Röntgen X-radiation) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers. (wikipedia)

for me is the YAMAHA AN1x synthesizer from the year 1997 the best virtual-analog synth ever. absolut deep and unique sound. so underrated in my opinion."
