This is the Yamaha
AN1x Control Synthesizer FAQ, a list of Frequently Asked
Questions and answers, regarding the Yamaha AN1x, PLG150-AN,
and AN200 synthesizers. Creation of this FAQ was started in
May 2004 and is supported by the
AN1x-list at Yahoo! Groups
The AN1x FAQ is a
work in progress - new questions and answers may be added so
long as user's are willing to share their knowledge and
experience. If you would like to contribute or suggest
improvements to the AN1x FAQ, please send an email with your
comments to AN1x-list: AN1x-list@yahoogroups.com

Much of the
information in the FAQ has been compiled from the AN1-list
archives. The AN1x FAQ would not be possible without the
particpation of many list members, both past and present,
who have contributed their time and effort. Particular
thanks to Gary Gregson for the wealth of information he has
shared - much of which appears throughout this FAQ. Other
points of reference used to compile coherent definitions of
the many acronymns which appear in the FAQ were:
