Track Job Parameters
Rec (Record): Determines how a Free EG record
operation will be executed (i.e., either the selected
track or all tracks). Pressing a key on the keyboard
starts recording.
For more information, see page 83.
Copy: For copying the Free EG data of a track in
the current voice to the currently selected track, or
copying the data of any track in any voice to the
currently selected track of the current voice.
For more information, see page 83.
Undo: Lets you “undo” as well as “redo” the most
previous Free EG copy or record operation.
For more information, see page 84.
When copying a track, only track data is copied. Scene status is not copied.
Free EG Base Position
Knob positions are recorded in a Free EG track as increases
(positive values) and decreases (negative values) to the
“base” position of the knob, or the position at which the
knob is located when you first move it. After Free EG
recording, if you change the knob parameter, you also
change the base position accordingly. For example, if the
knob base position is set too high, the Free EG data changes
may occur out of the range of the assigned track parameter.
Therefore, take care not to set the knob base position too
high.

Using The Control
Features
The AN1x is equipped with a variety of control
features that can be used while playing (or
editing) the instrument, and flexible controller
assignment features which determine the
parameter that will be controlled by any given
controller. These functions work together to give
you sophisticated expressive control over the
sound of both the AN1x itself as well as any
connected MIDI instruments.
Real-time Control
The AN1x's real-time controllers include all on-board
sound control features manipulated by hand or foot, which
also can output continuous Control Change data via MIDI,
including the eight CONTROL knobs, the [MODULATION]
wheel, the [PITCH] wheel, the [RIBBON] controller (with
both horizontal X-axis and Z-axis push control), and [FOOT
CONTROLLER], [FOOT VOLUME] and controllers (as
assigned in the Utility Control Assign function).
Also included are the various switches, such as the
[FOOTSWITCH] and [PORTAMENTO] and other panel
switches, which output a specific discrete (on/off) MIDI
Control Change message each time they are pressed. The
PROGRAM CHANGE keypad outputs MIDI Program
Change messages each time a voice is selected.
Continuous And Discrete Controllers
Continuous type controllers send a continuous stream of
Control Change data (between 000, or minimum, and 127,
or maximum) as you move them.
The [FOOT CONTROLLER] and [FOOT VOLUME] jacks on
the AN1x’s rear panel is for use with “continuous” Foot
Controllers (such as the Yamaha FC7). The [FOOTSWITCH]
jack is for use with “discrete” on/off Footswitches (such as
the Yamaha FC4 or FC5). These can be used to control
various AN1x functions as well as external MIDI devices.
Continuous parameters which can be controlled include
Modulation Depth, Volume, Panpot, Expression, Pitch Control,
Attack, Decay, Release, Vibrato Speed, Pan Range, Effect
Depth, Reverb Depth, and much more, if you make
appropriate settings in the Control Matrix.
Continuous/discrete parameters which can be controlled
include Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft.
You can use a continuous controller to send discrete
messages, where 000~063 represents “off” and 064~127
represents “on”, but for best results and ease of operation,
use an on/off Footswitch.
