Introduction
Analog Style Sequencer
Realtime Morphing
Record Your Knob Tweaks
LFO
Underneath the hood of the AN200 is an analog physical modeling synthesizer that's capable of producing the incredibly fat resonant sounds of those enormous analog synthesizers of the 70's and early 80's. It provides all the essential sound building components, including 2 VCO's, 6 filter types, frequency modulation, pitch sync, VCO sync, filter EG, LFO and more!
Plus it gives you a full 5 notes of polyphony (unlike the 2 notes found in most other physical modeling synthesizers), so you can play ultra thick chords by connecting it to a MIDI keyboard. Like the DX200, it's also equipped with over one hundred rhythm sounds and a 16-step analog-style sequencer for creating your own original dance tracks.
Features
- Analog Style Sequencer
Each step of a pattern can be precisely controlled with the turn of a knob. Change the pitch, gate time or velocity of any synth or drum note - on the fly!
- Realtime Morphing
Tweak your sound just the way you want and store it as a "Scene." You can create and use two different Scenes within a single pattern. The Scene knob lets you "morph" between the two sounds in realtime.
- Record Your Knob Tweaks
Free EG tracks let you record knob changes into your pattern. Using the bundled software editor, you can hand draw the shape of the EG on your PC screen.
- LFO
You can modulate the pitch or the filter with any one of the 21 different LFO waveforms. Use this knob to adjust the LFO speed.
- EG (Envelope Generator)
This group of knobs lets you set the attack, decay, sustain and release of the amplifier envelope (AEG) and filter envelope (FEG). You can control these envelopes independently or at the same time.
- Distortion
In addition to the four effect types common to all tracks, the Synth track has a dedicated distortion effect for creating hardcore synth leads.
- Other Features
VCO 1/2
Use this knob to adjust the volume balance between VCO 1 and VCO 2.
SYNC
Use this knob to adjust the volume balance between VCO 1 and VCO 2.
MIDI CONTROL DATA OUTPUT
All knobs transmit MIDI control change messages, which means that you can record knob changes into an external hardware or PC-based sequencer. You can even use this feature to edit and control synth modules that don't have realtime control knobs.
