Scene Load Function

The Scene Load function lets you load Scene data from a
Scene in any voice to the corresponding Scene in the
currently selected voice. This lets you, for example, load
the Scene 1 parameters of one voice to Scene 1 of the
currently selected voice, and load the Scene 2 parameters
of another voice to Scene 2 of the currently selected voice.
1. Hold [SCENE 1] (or [SCENE 2]) and enter the
number of the voice whose Scene data you
want to copy. The selected voice number
flashes in the LCD.
2. Press [YES/ENTER] to execute the Scene Load
operation, or [NO] to cancel it.
Data which is loaded:
•All knob parameter settings (excluding [ASSIGN] group)
•VOICE SCENE SETUP Mode and Control Matrix parameters
•VOICE COMMON Vari EF Dry:Wet parameter

Scene Swap Function

The Scene Swap function lets you exchange the data in
one Scene edit buffer with the other.
1. Hold [STORE] and press both [SCENE 1] and
[SCENE 2] switches. "SURE?[Y/N]" flashes in
the LCD.

Selecting Layer Modes

The LAYER switch is used for selecting a Layer
mode from the six available. Every time you
press the switch, a different Layer mode is
selected. The selected Layer at the time of a
Voice Store operation is saved as voice data.

Each Layer mode determines how Note On messages from
either the AN1x's keyboard or external MIDI devices (as
received at the AN1x's MIDI [IN] terminal) are handled.
Depending on which Layer mode is selected, either one or
both Scenes will be played, and the Scene Control
function will behave in specific ways. The selected Layer
also affects available polyphony, and determines
multitimbral status.

Layer Modes

SINGLE
This is the normal play mode for a voice. The sound is
determined by the data of the currently selected Scene.
In this mode the AN1x plays with maximum 10 notes
polyphony.
UNISON
This mode is great for getting those "fat" analog-type
sounds of the legendary vintage synths. In Unison
mode, the data of the currently selected Scene is
multiplied. Polyphony is determined by the Poly mode
setting (see page 72). For example, if Poly mode is set
to "mono" or "legato", then one Note On message will
use five notes of polyphony; if it is set to "poly", then
one Note On message will use two notes of polyphony.
The Unison Detune function (see page 76) lets you decide the detuning for the
Unison in order to fatten the sound.
