TECH CPU HD6413002FP16 (family Renesas H8/300H) CPU manages 10 voices polyphony based on analog modeling APM subtractive synthesis.
 |
A basic AN1X patch structure is composed by:
-
2 digital oscillators VCO that can be processed by:
- 1
generated white noise
- Frequency Modulation process
|
OSCILLATOR the VCO1 + VCO2 characteristics:

 |
FM a frequency modulation can be applied to the VCO1 to change its frequency, in which case the output of the oscillator will become the carrier.
 |
VCO1 is modulated by VCO2 following 4 algorithms with variable FM depth:
- only by FM
- sync + FM both: sync mode FM applied to master and slave oscillator
-
sync + FM master: sync mode FM applied to master oscillator
- sync + FM slave: sync mode FM applied to slave oscillator.
 HEAR FM MOD |
PERFORMANCE the AN1x can be played in 8 modes:
- standard play
- unison stack all voices
- dual voices: 5 x 2 voices (assignable to 2 channels)
- stack voices
- dual scenes
- split zone (assignable to 2 channels)
- split unison (assignable to 2 channels)
- monophonic with legato + portamento time
- ribbon can be assigned to filter cutoff/resonance, modulation and pan motion.
- scenes buttons get values snapshots for each oscillator then Midi CC#1 interpolates intermediate values for a morphing effect.
HEAR Legato mode |
|
LFO up to 2 delayed modulators (5 shapes: sinewave, square, triangle, saw and sample-hold + a mix of combinations) with variable depth and 5 destinations:
 |
- VCO pitch
- VCF cutfoff
- VCA amplitude
- LFO FM depth (slave or master)
- pulse width VCO PWM.
HEAR LFO on Filter |
ENVELOPE up to 2 EGs:
- EG1 FEG VCF filter: 4 segments ADSR
- EG2 VCA amplitude: 4 segments ADSR
Both EG are also assignable to other parameters including VCO pulse width and VCO pitch.
FILTER digital resonant filter multimode -12/ 18/ 24 dB/ oct slope.
The Key Track setting determines the key tracking of the VCF, changing the cutoff point in accordance with the notes played on the keyboard.
 |
AN1x filter modes:
- LPF lowpass
- HPF highpass
- BPF banpass
- BEF band eliminate
HEAR LFO on Filter |
EFFECT digital DSP section features 3 algorithms categories:
- FX A: 8 reverbs models e.g. hall, stage, room ....
- FX B: 5 delays with stereo panning motion
- FX C: 14 insert effects e.g distortion, pitch, 3-band EQ, phaser, autopan, rotary, wahwah ....
HEAR Panning motion
SEQUENCER notes entry is directly programmed using the 8 real-time knobs (switch between 1-8 and 9-16 steps) inspired from classic analog sequencers Korg SQ-10.
Special performance FREE VOICE EG records knobs movement in 4 different tracks.
 |
SYNC internal clock from 40 to 240 BPM and both arpeggiator and sequencer are syncable to external Midi clock.
HEAR sequenced |
ARPEGGIATOR features 30 patterns arpeggiators with 9 subdivide modes and 16 steps programmable sequencer with velocity / gate / swing rate/ latch mode Arpeggiator
MIDI full implementation of CC# and Sysex exclusives.
Both sequencer and arpeggiator output Midi notes to other external devices.
MEMORY:

EDITOR Yamaha provides a free computer-based editor for patches named Yamaha an1x editor,
it is still available on the official website.
AN APM RELATED FAMILY:
|
AN-200 is a five voices lap top groovebox with APM synthesis. 5 voices polyphony with different features and a PCM drum kit. It is based on the PLG-150 AN board |
 |
PLG-150 APM technology has been also released on modular PLG boards modern AN150 for MU and MO series.
