Yamaha AN1X Sounds - Part 2

Published on Nov 24, 2019 ProckGnosis

Part 1 posted here.

"This is part 2 of a lengthy listen to a great sounding and very capable virtual analog (VA) synth from Yamaha released in 1997. Jump to 1:35 to skip the intro. This is a continuation of a run through of the AN1x presets.

As I asked in the "AN1x Sounds - Part 1" video, if Yamaha made a VA this good 20+ years ago, why haven't they updated this and made an even cooler and better synth with the more capable and cheaper tech that's available now?

--AN1X Specs--
Polyphony - 10 notes
Oscillators - 2 osc: saw, variable width pulse, FM
Effects - Reverb, delay, 3-band EQ, chorus, flanger, phaser, enhancer, compressor, distortion, overdrive, amp simulator.
Filter - Resonant 12/18/24dB/oct low/band/hi pass filter + 1 more hi pass
Arpeg/Seq - Arpeg: 1 mon/poly, up, down, up/down, random; MIDI-capable. Seq: 16 steps, 1 track
Keyboard - 61 keys (with velocity and aftertouch)

Solina String Ensemble Early Series Comparison

Published on Nov 24, 2019 Italian Vintage Stuff!

"Strictly for nerds: Sorry for my poor keyboard skills, but this was not an intent to make a musical video, it's a comparison of two early series Solina String Ensemble keyboards.
To show that they differ ever so slightly in sound, and how different they sound compared to the later versions.

LuLaAh - Flute, Morphagene, Mimeophon, VCV Rack, O Coast, Freak, Disting

Premiere in progress. Started 2 minutes ago Omri Cohen

"Recording the Flute into the Morphagene is fun :) There are some patch notes below.

And also the VCV Rack patch file - https://www.patreon.com/posts/31818579

Patch notes :
-----------------------
- I use the Mimophon as a voice with its feedback all the way up, and I'm playing it with the Keystep. It's then going through the Disting in stereo delay mode with a nice long feedback.
- I switch the v/oct cable of the Keystep from the Mimeophon to the O Coast and record it into a looper in VCV Rack.
- I then switch the cable again to a self-oscillating filter on the Freak module from Vult, and record it into another looper in VCV Rack.
- I record the flute directly into the Morphagene with the Zoom H6 recorder.
- In VCV Rack I have a sequence going with the Seasons sequencer, sequencing both the Woldemar oscillator and an FM-OP which is going through Clouds.
- Also in VCV Rack, I play the Cozmic oscillator with the Keystep through Midi.
By the way, Lulaah in Hebrew means a loop..."
