Front Panel

[SCENE] switches
Each of the AN1x's 128 voices has two Scene
memories, each of which are instantly accessible
by pressing the [SCENE 1] or [SCENE 2] switch.
Each Scene can have its own distinct sound.
Pressing both [SCENE] switches simultaneously
activates the Scene Control function, which lets you
"morph", or cross-fade between Scenes in real-
time using the assignable [MODULATION] wheel,
an assignable Foot Controller, or any other
continuous controller.
[RIBBON] controller
The assignable [RIBBON] controller gives you
horizontal slide (X) and pressure (Z) control of
designated controllable parameters as you play,
including filter cutoff, resonance, LFO, panpot,
reverb, and more.
[PITCH] wheel
The [PITCH] wheel lets you bend the pitch up or
down as you play. It is spring-loaded to
automatically return to center position when you let
go of it. You can use the Control Matrix to designate
specific Pitch Bend parameters for the upper and
lower bend ranges for each Scene.
[MODULATION] wheel
The assignable [MODULATION] wheel lets you
apply modulation or another designated
controllable parameter as you play, or morph
between Scenes when the Scene Control function is
active (and the [MODULATION] wheel is
designated as the source controller).

[VOLUME] knob
This knob controls the AN1x's overall
volume level output from the PHONES
and OUTPUT jacks. Turn the [VOLUME]
between left-most (minimum) and right-
most (maximum) positions to set the
proper listening level whether using
headphones or amplified speakers.

CONTROL knobs with push-switch (knob parameters)
The eight assignable CONTROL knobs are used for real-time control and edit of the various tone
generator parameters, depending on which KNOB PARAMETER GROUP select switch is currently
selected, plus instant access to each step event when the [EDIT ROTARY] switch is set to the SEQ
EDIT/SETUP menu. Press a CONTROL knob (push-switch) to confirm the current parameter in the LCD.
Turn a CONTROL knob left to decrease values or right to increase them. Make fine edit adjustments by
turning a knob while pressing it. Since all CONTROL knobs are assignable, you can have each one
access one of many different available parameters to give you maximum real-time control over specific
aspects of your sound, including versatile control of external instruments via MIDI output.

KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switches
These switches determine which set of parameters are
controlled by the CONTROL knobs. The switches are
color coded in cross-reference to the parameter names
as printed in the same color on the panel beside each
knob. Whenever you select a voice, the [ASSIGN]
switch is automatically selected, to give you instant
access to your assigned CONTROL knob parameters.

1 MIDI terminals
MIDI [IN], [OUT] and [THRU] terminals let you connect external MIDI
devices such as a MIDI keyboard, tone generator, sequencer or
OUTPUT PHONES
L/MONO computer or others, using a MIDI cable. [IN] is for input of MIDI data,
including data dumps from another AN1x or MIDI data storage
device. [OUT] is for output of MIDI data, including data dumps to
another AN1x or MIDI data storage device. [THRU] is for "daisy-
chain" connection of additional MIDI instruments, as the MIDI data
received at the AN1x's [IN] terminal is passed along unchanged to
the [THRU] terminal.
