Using The Controllers - Yamaha AN1x Owner's Manual

Voice Categories
Voices can be organized into Category types and
assigned a two-letter Category code during the voice
Name operation. For a list of the available Category
types, see page 81.
Scenes
Each voice has two "Scenes", or two distinct sounds
available for instant recall at the press of a [SCENE]
switch. Since the specific Scene on/off status is stored
as voice data, when you select a voice an LED beside
one of the [SCENE] switches will light to indicate which
Scene is active. (If both Scene LEDs light, the Scene
Control on status has been stored as part of the voice,
which means you can morph, or cross-fade between
Scenes using the assignable [MODULATION] wheel or
any other assigned continuous controller as you play.)
For more information about Scenes, see page 19.

Using The Controllers

The AN1x has various on-board controllers which let you
control specific parameters in real-time as you play.
Besides keyboard Initial and After Touch, these include
[PITCH] wheel, [MODULATION] wheel and [RIBBON]
controller, as well as the eight assignable CONTROL
knobs.
PITCH Wheel
The [PITCH] wheel lets you bend the pitch up or down
by an assignable amount. The pitch bend "depth"
(range) can be different for each Scene, as set in the
Control Matrix.
PITCH
The pitch bend range can be different for each Scene in each voice. You can also
use the [PITCH] wheel to control other parameters. For information, see page 51.
MODULATION Wheel
The [MODULATION] wheel lets you apply varying
amounts of modulation to the sound as you play,
depending on assignment by the Utility Control Assign
function (see page 50) or in the Control Matrix (see
page 51).
MODULATION
You can also assign volume, pan or one of many other parameters to be
controlled by the [MODULATION] wheel. For information, see page 95. The
[MODULATION] wheel can also be used to "morph" between Scenes when the
Scene Control function is activated. For information, see page 20.
