System Examples

There are many ways to incorporate the AN1x into
a simple or expanded music system. Following are
a few of the most common examples.
The AN1x By Itself
At the simplest level, all you need to do is connect
stereo headphones to the [PHONES] jack located on
the rear panel, and you're ready to go. To use the
AN1x as a stand-alone performance instrument, simply
connect it to amplified speakers and optional FC Foot
Controller and Footswitch pedals as shown in the
diagram at right.
Setting Up Your AN1x
The AN1x Control Synthesizer is an ideal stand-alone performance-
based electronic musical instrument as well as a powerful component
in an expanded MIDI music system. Following are instructions for
proper setup of the AN1x and connection to external devices.
1. After carefully taking your new AN1x out of
the box, place it on a keyboard stand or on
top of a sturdy table or desk.
2. Next, connect the supplied Yamaha PA-3B (or
equivalent) Adaptor to the AN1x's [DC IN]
connector located on the rear panel. Then
connect the adaptor to the nearest electrical
outlet.
3. Before switching on the power, connect any
peripheral devices such as amplified speakers,
FC Foot Controller or Footswitch pedals, or
external MIDI instruments.
Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B (or equivalent). Use of an
incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the AN1x, and could even pose a
serious shock hazard.
Always be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the electrical outlet when the AN1x is
not in use.

To avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic devices, before switching on the
power of any device, make sure the AN1x's [VOLUME] level and the volume levels of the connected
equipment are set to minimum positions.
The AN1x In A MIDI System
It's easy to create a simple but powerful MIDI music
system with only a few basic components. The
illustration below shows how to connect the AN1x to a
Yamaha QY700 Music Sequencer.
MIDI OUT
You can have the AN1x's Tempo setting control the
external sequencer's clock, or the sequencer's clock
control the speed of the AN1x's Arpeggiator or Step
Sequencer.
For details about assigning AN1x MIDI transmit and receive channels, see page 93. For
details about assigning MIDI channels and other settings for the external sequencer or other
devices which may be connected, consult the owner's manual for each. For more
information about MIDI, see the APPENDIX, page 109.
