PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual
smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the

power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk
on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other
cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

4

(3)-6

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and
do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■ REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which
permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When
the backup battery needs replacing, the message "Err1" appears in the display. When this happens, immediately back up your data (using an external
device such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3), then
have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent
the possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.
• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a
child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult
a physician immediately.

■ SAVING USER DATA
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer
MDF3, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use
or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha AN200 Desktop
Control Synthesizer!
The AN200 is a combination tone generator and sequencer that puts an enormous amount of
sonic power and real-time performance control in an exceptionally compact and easy-to-use “desktop”
package. As one of the Loopfactory group of instruments, it’s an amazingly high-quality and versatile
tool for loop-based music production. Use it on your gigs, as part of your DJ setup — or as your
secret weapon in your studio arsenal.
With eighteen knobs and umpteen switches, many of them “dedicated” — meaning that a control does specifically and ONLY what its name indicates — the AN200 is a synthesizer control freak’s
dream.
Powering the incredibly rich and huge analog-like Voices of the AN200 is the Analog Physical
Modeling synthesis system. It not only features the same familiar oscillator, filter and other soundshaping controls found on traditional analog synthesizers — it gives you the full spectrum of warm, fat,
and punchy sounds that made those legendary instruments famous.
Play the exceptionally high-quality analog-style Voices of the AN200 with full 5-note polyphony
— from the built-in keyboard or from a MIDI device. Use the built-in 16-step sequencer to create your
own synth and rhythm sequences. And power up the full-featured AN200 Editor on your computer —
to tap into ALL the amazing sonic power the AN200 has to offer.
There’s a lot of important, helpful information in these pages. So read through this manual
carefully — and get the most out of your sophisticated new AN200.

How to Use This Manual
How to USE a manual? Sounds a bit obvious, we admit. (“Open it and read it.”) But here goes:

1

Go straight to the Quick Start Guide.
This tells you simply and in no uncertain terms how to set up your new AN200 and get sound out of it.

2

Work through the 92 Tips.
These are practical, no-nonsense applications that get you actually USING the machine.
If this is your first tone generator or synthesizer, fire up the AN200, open up the manual to Tip 1, and go
from there. Think of it as a game — the more tips you complete, the better you know the machine, and
the sooner you can reach your goal of becoming a true synth wizard. Pay particularly close attention to
the Power Hints scattered throughout — they’re great for further exploration.
If you have years of experience with analog synthesizers, and know all about cutoff frequency, resonance, pulse waves, amplitude modulation, LFOs, VCOs, EGs, and MIDI — and you even dream in hexadecimal — skim through the tips anyway. There’s bound to be some interesting and helpful stuff here,
no matter what your level of expertise. If you need some pertinent info quickly, check the Tech Talk
boxes.

3

Refer to the Appendix when necessary.
Lots of helpful, convenient information in this section, too. If something doesn’t work as expected, go to
Troubleshooting (page 115). If you want a clear, concise explanation of how the synthesizer of the
AN200 works, see Analog Physical Modeling Synthesis and the AN200 (page 116). If you’re not sure
where to go for help but you’ve got a key word in mind, check the Contents (page 6) or look through the
Function Index (page 110).

Have fun!

Quick Start Guide
Once that you’ve got the AN200 out of the box and checked that all included items were indeed included, it’s
time to set everything up and get playing.

1 Turn the VOLUME control all the way down to the minimum.
2 Connect the OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO and R) to the inputs of your
recorder/mixer/amplifier.
If you’re using a mono system, use only the L/MONO jack. If you’re using headphones, connect them to
the PHONES jack.

3 Plug in the included power adaptor — first, one end into the DC IN terminal, then the other into an AC outlet.
4 Turn on the power with the rear panel power switch. Then, turn on the
power of your recorder/mixer/amplifier.
The AN200 takes a little time to “warm up” after being turned on – roughly 20 seconds. After
the startup routine is finished, your AN200 is ready to play.

5 Press the Start/Stop button on the AN200 to start a Pattern and slowly
turn up the VOLUME control until the level is appropriate.
To stop the Pattern, simply press the Start/Stop button again.

And that’s all there is to it. Now go on to the Tips and start playing!

This is NOT an owner’s manual!
At least not an ordinary one. But, then again, the AN200 is no ordinary
instrument. It’s packed with exciting, powerful, yet easy-to-use features that
give you complete, hands-on sonic control — plus tons of dynamic real-time
functions that can bring an extra edge to your live performances!
With all the digital power under this small hood, the AN200 is a stunning
new instrument of the future. Yet it also brings you the very best of the old
analog world — just look at all those knobs for twisting and tweaking your
sound!
We know you don’t like reading manuals. But you owe it to yourself to look
through this collection of hot tips. They show you how to get the most out of
your new AN200 in the shortest time possible.
It’s like having an expert programmer take you by the hand and show you
the ropes, sharing all the tricks and techniques you need to be a master on
the instrument yourself. These tips take you from the bare-bones basics, to
advanced power tips that get you pumping out fat sounds and happening
tracks — in no time flat!
So jump in …

Chapter 1

Pattern Basics
Start your synthesizer apprenticeship right here. In this section, you’ll learn
about playing Patterns, and how to use some of the AN200’s powerful tools to
change the sound as it’s playing.

1

Playing a Pattern

Here’s where all the fun starts — with the pre-programmed Patterns.

Just press the Start/Stop button, and listen to the Pattern play. The Pattern repeats (loops) until you press
the button again to stop it.
● What exactly are Patterns?
The Patterns are the basic musical building blocks of the AN200 — they provide an instrument sound (also called a “Voice”), plus a looping phrase using
that Voice.
These pre-recorded Patterns give you the rhythmic and melodic foundation you
need for laying down tracks — in your own recording or in performance. Keep
in mind that you can create your own Patterns as well. (See page 68.)

2

Pattern Mode
Select the Pattern mode by pressing the
[PATTERN] button. The letter “P” in the display indicates the Pattern mode.

Exploring other Patterns

The AN200 features a total of 256 specially pre-programmed Patterns. Try some of these out now.
Use the [DATA] knob to select a different Pattern. Notice how the Pattern number in the display changes.
Then press the Start/Stop button to play the Pattern.

You can also change Patterns during playback! Turn the [DATA] knob while the
Pattern is playing — the new Pattern starts playing immediately after the previous one is finished.

Keep in mind that you cannot select Voices
separate from the Patterns. If you want to
hear a certain Voice, select the Pattern containing that Voice. You can copy that Voice
to a different Pattern; see Tip 52.

15

Chapter 1 Pattern Basics

3

Switching Patterns on the fly

Try mixing it up now. The AN200 lets you change Patterns as easily as pressing a button...
Thanks to the Pattern Select function, you can chain together Patterns in real time from the keyboard — as
you perform.
Select a Pattern, then press [PATTERN SELECT].

The button lights.

Start the Pattern. While the Pattern is playing, press one of the keyboard buttons (except 1, 4, and 8).
Avoid these keys — they won’t change the Pattern.

Notice how a new Pattern starts playing as soon as the previous one is finished. This is a great way to string
together various Patterns in a live performance — and create your own songs on the fly. If you want, you
can use the keys to select a Pattern before starting playback as well.

• Repeats
Unless you want the same Pattern to repeat several times, don’t press a
keyboard button more than once. On the other hand, you can quickly
program the Pattern sequence for an entire song if you want, without
having wait for each Pattern to play back. The AN200 remembers all the
buttons you press and how many times you press them, and automatically plays back the Patterns as you programmed — repeats and all.

16

• Other octaves, more Patterns
Before starting the Pattern, use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons to
change the octave range of the keys. That’ll let you select other Patterns!
• Assign them yourself
The Pattern-to-key assignments have been made for you. However, you
can make your own assignments, and put the Patterns you want to use
close together for easy access. (See page 40.)

Chapter 1 Pattern Basics

4

Playing it backwards

The Reverse function lets you completely turn the Pattern around, and play all the notes backwards.
Before you start the Pattern (or during playback, if you want), simply press the [REVERSE] button.

5

Changing the bpm

Now, that you’ve got a Pattern playing, try changing its speed. (This is also called “bpm” — beats per
minute.) The AN200 gives you two ways to do this — tapping out the speed manually, or using the [DATA]
knob to adjust it.

1 Tap the [TAP] button three or four times at the desired speed.

3

The new bpm is shown in the display. The [TAP] button and BPM lamp flash in time.

2 If you want, adjust the bpm by turning the [DATA]
knob.

3 Press the Start/Stop button to start the Pattern at the
new bpm.
You can also change the bpm while the Pattern is playing. To do this, simply
start the Pattern before step #1 above.

Determines the speed or tempo of a Pattern.
Operation
Use [TAP] button to tap tempo; then adjust
with [DATA] knob. Or hold down [SHIFT]
and press [TAP/BPM]; then use [DATA]
knob.

Range
20.0 — 300.0 bpm

Messing with the Beat

There’s more than one way to mess with the rhythm. Actually, the AN200 gives you a truckload of ways you
can disturb and deconstruct your beats. One of these is the (appropriately named) Beat function.
You’ll be meeting up with this control again when you record your own Patterns. But let’s see how you can
use it now to change the feel of a Pattern while it’s actually playing...

1 Select a Pattern and start it by pressing the Start/Stop button.
2 While the Pattern is running, hold down [SHIFT] and press [SWING]
(BEAT).

Now, you’ve got Beat called up and ready, so turn the [DATA] knob to
change the setting.
You can tell from the lit number buttons how the Pattern is affected. When
set to “16,” all 16 step buttons are lit and all 16 steps play back normally.
Change the setting to “12,” and Steps 13 - 16 drop out. Notice how the
Pattern not only slows down but “feels” different, too. Change Beat to “8,”
and you’ve only got Steps 1 - 8 happening. That’s half of the original 16step Pattern, and naturally, it plays back at half the speed.

7

Beat
Determines the number of steps in the
selected Pattern for playback: 16, 12, or 8.
To set, hold [SHIFT] and press [SWING], then
use the [DATA] knob.
Range
16, 12, 8 steps

Double time, half time

Here’s a dramatic way to instantly double the speed of a Pattern — or slow it down by one-half.

Simply hold down [SHIFT] and press the [OCT <<] button — just before the beginning of the Pattern — to
slow down the bpm by one-half. The first half of the Pattern plays at the new speed, before returning to the
original speed.
To double the bpm, hold down [SHIFT] and press the [OCT >>] button just before the top of the Pattern. The
Pattern plays back twice at the new speed, then returns to normal.

18

Chapter 2

Song Playback
As we said before, the Patterns are the basic building blocks of the AN200.
But what can you build with them?
Songs!
Our team of expert programmers has created a few Songs using the various
Patterns of the AN200. Check these out and hear just how powerful and versatile the AN200 can be for recording your own material.

8

Playing a Song

Let’s select a Song now and play it.

1 Press the [SONG] button.

2 Select the desired Song by turning the [DATA] knob.

3 Press the Start/Stop button to play the Song.
For more about Songs and how to create your own, see page 81.

Song Mode
Pressing the [SONG] button selects the Song
mode.

The letter “S” indicates
the Song mode.

Chapter 3

The Keyboard
Small and compact as it is, the AN200 also features a one-octave keyboard for
playing and recording the sounds of the instrument.

9

Playing the keyboard

The built-in keyboard is small — just one octave — but it lets you use all the features of the AN200 without
having to connect a separate keyboard. Try it out now.

1 Press [KEYBOARD].
2 Play the keyboard.

The button lights.

The buttons give you a full octave, from C to C. Keep in
mind that buttons 1, 4, and 8 don’t make any sound here —
they’re not part of the scale.

Changing octaves

Naturally, one octave doesn’t cover a whole lot of ground. That’s why we’ve included convenient Octave buttons, so you can shift the octave range of the keyboard up or down as needed — quickly and easily.

1 While the [KEYBOARD] button is lit, press [OCT >>].
Octave
Determines the octave range of the built-in
keyboard. Press [OCT <<] or [OCT >>] to
change. ([DATA] knob can also be used after
pressing one of these buttons.) Press both
buttons simultaneously to restore normal
range. Some notes may not sound for the
maximum values.

The display shows “C 4,” indicating the octave. (“C 3” is normal.) Play
the keyboard and listen to the sound. Try some other octave settings,
pressing [OCT <<] and [OCT >>] as desired to shift the octave.

20

Range
C-2 — C3 (normal) — C8

Chapter 3 The Keyboard

Playing the Rhythm track

The AN200 also has a special Rhythm track (actually there are three.) that let you play and record drum, percussion, bass and other sounds — giving you the power to easily create your own ultra-hip beats. Naturally,
you can play all these sounds straight from the built-in keyboard...

1 With the [KEYBOARD] button lit, press [RHYTHM TRACK].

The button lights.

Press the button repeatedly to switch among the three Rhythm tracks: 1, 2, and 3.

2 Play the keyboard.
Remember — you can use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons to change the range, and call up a whole different set of sounds. For more details on how to use the Rhythm tracks, see page 140.

12

Velocity

All the keys of the built-in keyboard play at a fixed volume — no matter how hard or how soft you play them.
However, you can set this fixed volume yourself, and make the sound as soft or as loud as you need it.
This Velocity setting also controls how loud the sounds are, when you record your own Patterns in Realtime recording (page 70).

1 Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [16], repeatedly
if necessary, until “>] buttons, too? This next example may take a little practice...

Swing

Here’s an instant way to change the rhythmic feel of a Pattern. Play it straight,
or give it some swing.
Call up a Pattern and start it up. While it’s playing, press the [SWING] button
and turn the [DATA] knob.
Try a setting of about 65 - 70 and notice how the Pattern takes on a “bouncy”
feel. Experiment with different settings and different Patterns. Judicious use
of Swing can make the Patterns sound less mechanical — and give your tracks
a more “human,” natural feel.

• The Swing effect differs depending on the selected Pattern. For certain Patterns with few
notes (such as only quarter notes), Swing may have little to no effect.

Swing
Determines the amount of swing or triplet
feel in Pattern playback. (Does not change
the actual recorded data.) While a Pattern is
playing, press the [SWING] button and turn
the [DATA] knob to change the value.
Range
50 (straight) — 83 (maximum swing)

• When the Beat parameter (page 18) is set to “12,” Swing has no effect on the Pattern.

28

Muting tracks

The Patterns of the AN200 contain and play back up to four separate tracks — the Synth track and three
Rhythm tracks. The convenient Track Mute feature lets you selectively mute these tracks — even during
playback.
Track Mute actually has two main applications: one in recording, the other in live performance. When
recording several tracks to a Pattern (page 70), it’s often useful to hear only one or two of your previously
recorded tracks — and Track Mute is ideal for this.
However, where Track Mute REALLY shines is in live performance. Pro DJs and dance music artists can
whip the crowd into a frenzy by dropping parts out and bringing parts in. For example, bringing everything
down to the drums is a great dynamic trick that keeps the dancers grooving. From there, you can gradually
build things up, adding track by track until you have the whole mix cooking. Or bring everything in all at
once, and watch the crowd explode.

1 Call up and start one of the Patterns.
2 Let’s start by muting the Synth track. While holding down [SHIFT], press
[1] on the keyboard.

37

Chapter 8 Pattern Playback

Notice how buttons [1], [2], [3], and [4] light while you hold down [SHIFT]
— this means all four tracks are on. Button [1] corresponds to the Synth
track; when you press this, the Synth track cuts out. To bring the Synth
track back in, simply hold down [SHIFT] and press [1] again.

3 Now, do the same with Rhythm tracks 1, 2, and 3 —
which are assigned to buttons [2], [3], and [4], respectively.
While the Pattern is playing, try muting and unmuting the tracks in time
with the rhythm. The lighted buttons let you see at a glance which tracks
are active — a great help when doing this live.

Track Mute
Allows selective muting of the four tracks:
Synth and Rhythm 1 - 3. Two methods are
available:
Method 1
Holding down [SHIFT] and pressing number buttons [1], [2], [3], and [4].
Method 2
Holding down [SHIFT] and pressing
[SYNTH TRACK] or [RHYTHM TRACK].
In Method 2, [RHYTHM TRACK] is an eightway toggle switch. Each button press (as
you hold down [SHIFT]) steps through all
Track Mute settings.
For both methods, the LED next to the track
number lights to indicate that the track is on.

29

Muting notes during playback

Here’s a Tip that’s useful both in live performance AND in creating Patterns. It’s called Step Mute and it lets
you modify an existing Pattern by taking out specific notes — while the Pattern is playing.
Step Mute is another great way to change the rhythmic feel and melodic content of a Pattern — without permanently changing the original data. Let’s try it out...

1 Select a Pattern and start it up.
2 Make sure the Synth track is on (press [SYNTH TRACK] if necessary), then
press one of the keyboard buttons.

The button lamp turns off, indicating the note is
muted.

Hear how the selected note drops out? You can press the same button again to put the note back in. Try
pressing some other buttons and listen to how their presence or absence affects the feel of the Pattern.

3 Do the same with the Rhythm Tracks as well.
Press [RHYTHM TRACK] repeatedly to select the desired Rhythm Track: 1, 2, or 3. Then, press the keyboard buttons — just as you did in Step 2 above.

38

Chapter 8 Pattern Playback

• Adding and subtracting beats
Did you notice that you can add sounds, too? This is especially effective in the Rhythm tracks.
If the selected Rhythm track has some unlit buttons — meaning there are spaces in the track
— try pressing some of those buttons to add more drum/percussion hits to the track. Or try
taking some of the lit buttons’ sounds out, and hear what kind of rhythm you come up with.
• Save your edits
If you like the new Pattern you’ve created, store it. (See page 79.) All Step Mute settings are
saved along with the stored Pattern; yet the original data is not changed.

30

Step Mute
Allows you to mute and unmute specific
steps in a Pattern during playback. Select
and start a Pattern, then select the track you
wish to control: Synth or Rhythm 1, 2, or 3.
Then, press the desired buttons to mute/
unmute the steps.

Mixer controls — Pan and Volume

Try these bread-and-butter controls out, and change the mix of the Patterns. Pan and Volume only affect the
Synth track — the Rhythm tracks remain unchanged.

1 Select a Pattern and start it.
2 Let’s try changing the Pan position first.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and turn the [PARAM] (PAN) knob.
Pan
Determines the position of the Synth track
sound in the stereo image. Hold down
[SHIFT], and turn the [PARAM] (PAN) knob
to adjust.

Notice how the Synth track sound moves from left to right and back again
as you turn the knob? (We assume you’re listening to this with stereo
headphones or on a stereo speaker system...)

Range
L63 (full left) — Cntr (center) —
r63 (full right)

3 Now, work with the Volume.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and turn the [WET] (VOL) knob.
Volume
Determines the volume of the Synth track.
Hold down [SHIFT], and turn the [WET]
(VOL) knob to adjust.
Range
0 — 127

Hear how the Synth sound fades in and out as you tweak the knob?
Remember, this only affects the Synth track — unlike the master [VOLUME]
knob, which controls the overall sound of the AN200.

39

Assigning Patterns to the keyboard buttons

Remember in Tip 3 how you selected Patterns on the fly, as they were playing? Here’s where you can set
which Patterns are triggered by which keyboard buttons. Any Pattern — even the User Patterns — can go
to any button. Plus, you can use a key range of three octaves, from C2 to B4 — that’s 36 different Pattern
Select locations.

1 Hold down [SHIFT] and press [PATTERN SELECT].
2 Use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons to select the
desired octave range.

The button flashes. All keyboard buttons turn off.

3 Press the desired keyboard button. (Remember, [1],
[4], and [8] can’t be used.)

4 Select the Pattern with the [DATA] knob. Your original User Patterns are
fair game as well.
5 Repeat Steps 2 - 4 as often as you want, until you’ve made all the desired
Pattern-to-key assignments.
Once you’re finished, press [EXIT] (or [SHIFT] and [PATTERN SELECT] again) to leave the function.
Now, try using Pattern Select to play the newly assigned Patterns. (Need a
refresher course? See Tip 3 again.)
Pattern Select Assign
● Storing Pattern Select assignments
There’s no need to store! All your Pattern Select Assign settings are stored
automatically as you make them.

40

Determines the Pattern-to-key assignment
for Pattern Select. Hold down [SHIFT] and
press [PATTERN SELECT]. Select octave
range, then press desired keyboard button
and use [DATA] knob to select Pattern. Pattern assignments are stored automatically.

Chapter 9

LFO Modulation
Here’s another crucial cornerstone in synthesizer sound — the LFO.
Although LFO modulation can be used to make the sound warmer and more
natural, its strong forte is in creating wild and extreme special effects.
Explore the following Tips and you’ll soon build up a huge arsenal of powerful tools for mangling the sound in awesome ways.

32

Modulating the volume

Get to know your LFO.
This Tip takes you through the basics in setting up and using the LFO. It also introduces you to one of the
more popular LFO applications — modulating volume. Used with some of the other sound shaping controls
on the AN200, this is responsible for the machine gun effects, helicopter-like sounds and a slew of other
industrial noises you hear in a lot of techno, electronica and dance music today.

1 Call up a Pattern.
2 Press [DETAIL], several times if necessary, until “Amd”
(Amplitude Modulation Depth) appears briefly in the
display.
3 Use the [DATA] knob to set the value to “63.”
This is the Amplitude Modulation Depth setting — “amplitude” meaning
“volume.” Setting Amplitude Modulation Depth to 63 puts the LFO in maximum control over the volume of the sound.

4 Press [KEYBOARD] to use the keyboard, and hold
down one of the keys.
Hear how the the sound wavers in and out, in a tremolo effect?

5 As the note sounds, tweak the LFO [SPEED] knob —
and hear how the modulation alternately speeds up
and slows down.

Amplitude Modulation Depth
Determines the amplitude (volume) depth for
the LFO. A value of “63” results in no volume change. To set, press [DETAIL] repeatedly (until “Amd” appears), and use [DATA]
knob to set value. (Pressing [DETAIL]
repeatedly steps through the other LFO Detail
parameters; see page 42.)
Range
-64 (maximum negative) — 0 (no change)
— 63 (maximum positive)

Speed
Determines the speed of the LFO modulation.
Range
Stop (no modulation), 1 — 255

41

Chapter 9 LFO Modulation

33

Modulating the Filter

Now, let’s apply the LFO to the Filter — and create some interesting wah-wah effects.

1 Press [DETAIL] until “Fmd” (Filter Modulation Depth) appears briefly in
the display.
2 Use the [DATA] knob to set the value to around “-34.”
This is the Filter Modulation Depth setting. Setting Filter Depth to -34 gives the LFO some control over
the timbre or tonal quality of the sound.

3 Press [KEYBOARD] to use the keyboard, and hold down one of the keys.
Can you hear the wah-wah sound? Try tweaking the [DATA] knob in the range of -64 to -24 and listen to
the changes in Filter modulation. Also try tweaking the sound at the positive end of the spectrum (16 to
46) as well, and listen for the difference.

Filter Modulation Depth
If you’ve come to this Tip directly from Tip 32 above, you’re hearing the LFO applied to both
Amplitude and Filter. To hear the Filter effect all alone by itself, set Amplitude back to normal
(0).

For more fun:
Try tweaking the VCF controls. Naturally, if the LFO is being applied to the Filter, any changes you make to the Filter section will affect the LFO-modulated
sound as well.

34

Determines the Filter modulation depth for
the LFO. A value of “0” results in no Filter
change. Values toward -64 produce a negative Filter depth; values toward 63 produce a
positive depth. To set, press [DETAIL]
repeatedly (until “Fmd” appears), and use
[DATA] knob.
Range
-64 (maximum negative) — 0 (no change)
— 63 (maximum positive)

Modulating the pitch

Try using the LFO to warp the pitch — and discover some more awesome modulation effects.

1 Press [DETAIL] until “Pmd1” (Pitch Modulation Depth 1) appears briefly in
the display.
2 Use the [DATA] knob to set the value to around “0.”
This is Pitch Modulation Depth 1 (for VCO 1). Start out with this minimum value.

3 Press [KEYBOARD] to use the keyboard, and hold down one of the keys.
As the sound sustains, slowly turn the knob counter-clockwise, and bring the value down toward
“-127.” Notice how the pitch becomes less and less distinct the further you get from “0.” (This is true
for positive values as well.) For some Voices, the pitch may stay distinct but change radically — over an
octave or more!
Try experimenting with different LFO Speed settings, and also try holding down more than one note.

42

Chapter 9 LFO Modulation

Pitch Modulation Depth 1, 2
If you’ve come to this Tip directly from the other LFO Tips above, you may want to hear the Pitch
modulation by itself. To do this, set both Amplitude and Filter back to normal (0).

• Double up
Once you start working with VCO 2 (in Tip 57), experiment with the two independent Pitch
Modulation Depth settings (PMD1 and PMD2) for even more interesting textures and pitch
changes.

35

Determines the two Pitch Modulation Depth
settings for the LFO. Setting 1 (“Pmd1”)
affects VCO 1, while setting 2 (“Pmd2”)
affects VCO 2. A value of “0” results in no
Pitch change. To set, press [DETAIL] (until
“Pmd1” or “Pmd2” appears), and use
[DATA] knob.
Range
-127 (maximum negative) —
0 (no change) — 127 (maximum positive)

Changing the LFO wave

The LFO uses one of 21 different waveforms to modulate the sound. The particular wave you select has a
huge effect on the final sound. Try out some of these and see what kind of chaos you can create.

1 Press [DETAIL] until “UAS” or “VCO2 > 1,” soloing VCO 1 lets you clearly hear
the modulation that’s happening.

54

VCO 1/2 Balance
This determines the volume balance of the
two oscillators, VCO 1 and VCO 2.
Range
-64 (VCO 1 only) — 0 (equal balance) —
63 (VCO 2 only)

Chapter 11 Advanced Sound Shaping Controls

43

Noise Level

Here’s another nifty little knob. This one’s great for throwing some grunge and
bite into the basic wave — letting you dirty up the Voice with some noise.
Why add noise? Why not use the Distortion effect? And what good is “dirt” in
the sound, anyway? (We could hear those questions coming...)
Well, besides the obvious Lo-fi and Industrial music applications — such as
making noise percussion — noise is great for adding harmonic content all
along the frequency spectrum. And that harmonic content added at the beginning of the signal flow makes the sound more interesting when you work with
the filter (VCF) section later on. Much more interesting, in fact.
Use it judiciously, however — too much noise can mask the basic pitch and
character of the sound.
Try selecting a Pattern with a relatively “pure” and soft Voice. Then, work the
[NOISE LEVEL] knob to hear how different degrees of noise affect the sound.

Noise Level
Determines the level of the noise signal
added to the VCOs.
Range
0 — 127

44

Making waves — VCO 1 and VCO 2

Here’s where the sound begins. All of the awesome, amazing sonic stuff on the AN200 starts with the waves
— generated by VCOs 1 and 2.
The AN200 gives you a wide variety of waveforms — not to mention enormous flexibility in combining,
modulating, and processing them.
The subject of waves can be fairly complicated, and you undoubtedly don’t want to read about it. As always,
use your ears! Give a listen to the various waves here and experiment with them. Try them out with the processing sections — especially VCF — and hear how they sound. That’s the best and only way to start creating your own Voices.

3 Set Sync Mode to OFF by pressing [MODE].
4 Press the VCO 1 [WAVE] button repeatedly to select different waves.
Better yet, press [WAVE] and turn the [DATA] knob. That lets you access ALL of the waveforms —
including the “hidden” waves.
The actual waves that are available differ depending on the Sync Mode setting. After trying the waves
that are available when Sync Mode is set to “OFF,” select one of the other two modes, then try out the
new group of waves. (See Tech Talk below and the Wave List on page 56 for details.)

Unlike with VCO 1, there is only one “hidden” wave in the VCO 2 section (Saw 2), and the
available waves are the same, no matter what the Sync Mode setting is.

In vintage analog synthesizers, the basic waves were generated by “oscillators.” The AN200
does it a bit differently — yet the sound is exactly the same. That’s why we’ve kept the name
“VCO”: Voltage Controlled Oscillator.

VCO 1, VCO 2 Wave
Determines the waveform for the VCO 1 or VCO 2 oscillator. Press the

Fat, phatter and phattest!

How phat do you want to get?
The Key Assign settings let you switch the AN200 between Poly and Mono operation. And, with Unison,
they bring back the humongously phat sounds of vintage synthesizers — letting you beef up the Voices the
old analog way.

1 Call up a Pattern and press [KEYBOARD].
Try to select a Pattern that has a fairly big and fat Voice. Let’s see where we can take it.

2 Right now, POLY should be lit. If not, press [KEY
ASGN] until it is lit, and “PoLY“ is shown in the display.
With the Poly setting, you can play and hold full chords — up to five notes
at the same time.

3 Press [KEY ASGN] again to call up Legato (LGto).
Legato is one of the Mono settings, meaning you can’t play chords here — just one-note lines. But that’s
just fine, because Legato is ideal for leads and solos as well as bass lines.
Play some notes and listen for the effect. Try holding down one note with your left hand while you
quickly play and release others with your right.
Notice how the notes trade off with each other? This is great for rapid trills — yet it keeps the EG consistent throughout, as long as you hold the first note down. Try playing melodies in a smooth, legato style,
too — not releasing one note until you’ve pressed the next.

4 Use the [DATA] knob to call up the “hidden” Mono
(mono) setting.
Play some notes. Try playing them smoothly in legato like you did above.
Notice how each note has a sharp attack, no matter how smoothly you try
to play?
Mono is similar to Legato in that you can play only one note at a time. However, the EG is retriggered, or started from the top, for each new note you
play — whether you play in legato or not.

5 Let’s give the sound some serious attitude now! Call
up the Unison (unSn) setting, with [KEY ASGN] or the
[DATA] knob.
Unison is the same as Legato, except for one very important difference —
it’s incredibly phat. Unison takes maximum advantage of the AN200’s
polyphony by ganging four of the “notes” together in one huge, fat monophonic layer.

Key Assign
Determines how the Voices respond to the
keyboard (or MIDI), and how they use the
available five-note polyphony. To set, press
[KEY ASGN] and use the [DATA] knob.
Settings
Poly (PoLY)
Plays Voices with full five-note polyphony.
Legato (LGto)
Plays Voices monophonically, maximum
one note at a time. Successively played
notes do not retrigger the PEG, FEG, or
AEG — resulting in a smoother note-tonote sound.
Mono (mono)
Plays Voices monophonically, maximum
one note at a time. PEG, FEG, and AEG
are retriggered for each new note played.
Unison (unSn)
Plays four polyphonic notes in unison, or
a one-note layer. In other words, the
response to the keyboard is monophonic, but the number of notes actually
sounding is polyphonic.

Sync Mode and Sync Pitch

Here are two more important additions to your arsenal of sound-shaping power tools. Try them out and
hear how they change the pitch and brighten the sound.

1 Call up a Pattern and start it up.
2 Set the [VCO 1/2] knob all the way left, so that you hear only VCO 1.
3 Press the [SYNC MODE] button to select VCO M>S (<.m-5).
4 Work the [SYNC PITCH] knob, especially between 11:00 and 4:00.
Notice how the basic pitch and the harmonics shift radically as you tweak the knob.

5 Change the SYNC MODE setting to VCO 2>1 and play with SYNC PITCH
again.

• Other waves
Try selecting different waveform for VCO 1, then with Sync Mode set to one of the “on” settings, tweak Sync Pitch. The Noise wave in particular is a good candidate for creating unique
non-pitched effects in which the harmonics are shifted.
• Bring in the highs
When using Sync Mode and Sync Pitch to craft a Voice, make sure to adjust the VCF controls
to appropriate settings, so that you can hear all of the high harmonics being generated.
Remember, you can always back off on the knobs later if the sound is too “edgy.”

Sync Mode

Sync Pitch

The AN200 tone generator has two oscillator sections: VCO 1 (which actually contains two oscillators), and VCO 2 (which has one). Sync Mode determines how the oscillators are synchronized —
one being a controlling “master,” the other a “slave.” The master oscillator determines the overall
pitch of the sound, and the slave oscillator controls the tone by adding harmonics.

Determines the pitch of the “slave” oscillator
in semitones, available only when Sync Mode
(above) is set to on. This lets you create a
difference in pitch between master and slave
oscillators and control the resulting harmonic
interval. At the “0” setting, the pitch is the
same as the master oscillator. Higher values
increase the interval for a more clangorous
sound. To properly hear the effect, make
sure the VCO 1 level is set high enough (see
page 54).

When set to “OFF,” there is no synchronization. When set to “VCO 1 M>S,” the two VCO 1 oscillators are separated inside of the VCO1 and synchronized, with one designated as the controlling
“master” and the other the “slave.” When this is set to “VCO 2>1,” the VCO 1 oscillators are synchronized to VCO 2, with the VCO 2 designated as the “master.”
To set, press [SYNC MODE].
Settings
OFF
Results in no synchronization.
VCO 1 M>S (VCO 1 master into slave)
The two VCO 1 oscillators are separated inside of the VCO1 and synchronized, one controlling
the other. This allows you to use Sync Pitch (below) to control the master/slave sound, yet
still have another oscillator (VCO 2) remaining.
VCO 2 > 1 (VCO 2 into VCO 1)
The two VCO 1 oscillators are synchronized to VCO 2, with the VCO 2 designated as the “master.”

Creating your own original Scenes — and saving
them

The exciting and powerful Scene feature lets you create and use two different Voices within a single Pattern.
Most importantly, it lets you instantly switch between them or gradually “morph” from one to the other — all
in real time.
You tried out some preset Scenes in Tip 23, and heard just how effective, dynamic, and ultimately hip the
function can be. Now, it’s time for you to create a Scene or two of your own.

1 Press SCENE button [1]. This is the Scene you’ll be
working on first.
2 Work the controls and get the sound you want for
Scene 1. Any and all of the Synth knobs can be used.
Only button [1] is lit.

• Only the Voice-related panel knobs can be used for recording to the Scenes; button switch
settings (such as LFO Detail and Key Assign) are ignored.
• Octave cannot be changed for the Scenes. In other words, both Scenes will always be
kept at the same octave setting.
• Remember that you’ll need to store your first Scene before you can create the second
Scene. Switching or morphing to a new scene automatically and irrevocably erases any
changes you’ve made.

3 While holding down [STORE], press SCENE button [1].
Scene 1 has just been stored. Now let’s go on to Scene 2.

Make sure keep holding [STORE] until you’ve pressed SCENE button [1] or [2]. Otherwise,
the AN200 will switch to the Store Pattern operation (page 79).
Indicates new settings have
been stored to Scene 1.

4 Do the same operation for Scene 2 — repeating Steps
1 - 3 above with SCENE button [2] this time.
Scene Recording
Allows you to program two different synth
sounds as Scenes, and use the SCENE controls to switch or crossfade between them.
Press SCENE [1] to select Scene 1, and
change the sound as desired. Store Scene 1
by holding down [STORE] and pressing
SCENE [1]. Repeat the operation for Scene 2,
using SCENE [2]. When finished, store the
Pattern (page 79).

Chapter 12

Free EG
Here’s another ultra-cool power tool for the control freak in you. The AN200
is packed with an endless supply of sonic mayhem and wild, shifting synthesizer textures, but you can keep it all under control — with Free EG.

48

Free EG

The AN200 has so many real-time control features, it’s hard to get a grip on them all. Feel you need an extra
pair of hands? Or maybe an extra two? No problem. Just use the amazing Free EG feature. The AN200 is
packed with a lot of powerful recording functions — but none are quite as impressive as this.
Free EG gives you up to four tracks for recording your knob moves — letting you incorporate real-time
sound changes and knob moves as a part of the Pattern. So every time you play the Pattern, your knob
changes play right along with it — just as you recorded them.
We call this “Free EG” because it allows you to create unique, complex, continuous parameter changes that
would be impossible to achieve with conventional EGs.

1 Call up the desired Pattern, and press the red Record
button.

You may want to set the Length (Tip 63 below) in this step. Do it BEFORE pressing the
Record button, however; Length cannot be set during Free EG recording.
Indicates recording is in standby.

2 Select the Free EG track you want to record.
Press the appropriate FREE EG button, [1] - [4]. The button lights to indicate the track is ready for
recording.
Normally, [1] will be lit — so if you want to record to Track 1, you don’t have to do anything here. If any
track buttons you DON’T want to record to are lit, press them to turn them off.
Remember, you can record to more than one track simultaneously by pressing the appropriate buttons.
(See Power Hints below.)

60

Chapter 12 Free EG

3 Start the Pattern, and make your moves.
Press the Start/Stop button.
The metronome clicks to lead you into the recording, so you can start your
knob moves right with the start of the Pattern.
Remember the rule: One knob, one track. Once you record a certain knob,
no other knob can be recorded to the track (unless you start the whole Free
EG recording again). Any tweaking of other knobs is ignored.

The display number indicates the current measure number. If you’ve set Length (see Tip 63
below) to “2,” the Pattern loops two times for recording, and the display changes accordingly.

4 To stop recording, press the Start/Stop button.
If you want to re-record the track or record moves to other tracks, go back
to Step 2 above and start all over again.

5 To hear your Free EG recording, make sure that the
appropriate track buttons are on, then press the
Start/Stop button to play the Pattern.
Remember to save your newly edited Pattern! (See Tip 60.) All your Free
EG track recordings will be saved right along with it.

• Recording to more than one track at a time
Press the appropriate Free EG Track buttons. During recording, the AN200 automatically
assigns each knob you move to the next available track. For example, let’s say you’re recording to Tracks 1 and 2. You move the CUTOFF knob first, and that’s recorded to Track 1. Then,
while tweaking Cutoff, you move [FEG DEPTH] — which records to Track 2.
• Take your time and let the Pattern loop!
In a variation of the above hint, you can set all the tracks to record, then tweak each one separately as the Pattern loops. Each of your moves is properly recorded to a separate track, and
you can hear the effect of your last knob tweak as you record the next.
• Use the four tracks to your advantage
Record your tweaking of one certain knob to all four tracks, then choose the best “take” from
the four. Just make sure to turn off each button after you record to it — so it doesn’t play back
and disturb your recording of the next button. Listen to each track in turn by turning the
appropriate button on.
• Change the way your Free EG tracks play back
The Type parameter (see Tech Talk below) gives you four different ways to loop the Free EG
tracks. Try these out when playing your Pattern and hear the interesting things they do to your
tracks.

Free EG — Type and Trigger
Type
Determines the type of loop for Free EG playback. Press the [MODE] button repeatedly
until “tYPE” appears, then use the [DATA]
knob to change the setting.
Settings
oFF
No loop.
FUd (Forward)
Free EG sequence loops from start to
end.
FUdH (Forward Half)
Free EG sequence loops from the middle
to the end.
ALt (Alternate)
Free EG sequence loops from start to
end, then end to start.
ALtH (Alternate Half)
Free EG sequence loops from middle to
end, then end to middle.
Trigger (“triG”)
Determines how playback of the Free EG
tracks is triggered. Normally, this should be
set to Free (“FrEE”), so that the tracks play
back when the Pattern is started. Setting this
to MIDI (“midi”) lets you start Free EG
playback from a connected MIDI keyboard or
sequencer.
Press the [MODE] button repeatedly until
“triG” appears, then use the DATA knob to
change the setting.
Settings
FrEE (Free)
Triggers playback of the Free EG tracks
from a random start point, when a Note
On message is received from a connected MIDI device, or when a key on the
AN200 is played, or when the Pattern is
started.
midi (MIDI in Notes)
Triggers playback of the Free EG tracks
from the start, when a Note On message
is received from a connected MIDI
device, or when a key on the AN200 is
played.
ALL (All Notes)
Triggers playback of the Free EG tracks
from the start, when a Note On message
is received from a connected MIDI
device, or when a key on the AN200 is
played, or at the first recorded note of
the Pattern (which may or may not be
the start of the Pattern).
Strt (Sequencer Start)
Triggers playback of the Free EG tracks
from the start, only when the Pattern is
started.

Changing the Length of your Free EG tracks

The flexible little Length feature works both ways — both in recording and playback. It lets you set how long
(in measures) your Free EG moves are recorded for, and it lets you separately set how long it takes for them
to play back.
Set Length before recording any Free EG tracks. Specifically, set it BEFORE you press the red Record button
(but after you’ve selected the Pattern) in Step 1 of Tip 48 above.
Press the [LENGTH] button repeatedly to step through the settings. (Or press [LENGTH] and use the [DATA]
knob.) The number in the display indicates the Length in measures.
If you want to record your knob moves over two measures (two repeats of the Pattern), set this to “2.” If
you want your tweaking to stretch over eight measures, set it to “8.”
Once your tracks have been recorded, you can set Length again just before playback. This controls how
long all four tracks take to play.

• Take your time
Want to make some really slow changes? How about a gradual filter sweep that builds to a climax over several measures? Set a low Length for recording (for example, “0.5”), then before
you play back the Pattern, set a high Length, such as “8.”
• Make it snappy
For really fast changes, just do the opposite of the above. Set a high Length for recording and
a low Length for playback. Keep in mind that each track can be recorded with a separate
Length.

Free EG Length
Determines the time of the Free EG — for
both recording and playback. Each track can
be set independently for recording; however,
the playback setting affects all tracks
together. Since Free EG is based in measures, changing the playback bpm (tempo)
automatically changes the actual time of the
Free EG as well. To set, press [LENGTH]
repeatedly.
Settings
0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 (measures)

Pattern Power
Tips
It’s time to put your AN200 know-how and experience to work — and delve
into these Pattern Power Tips.
The first couple of Tips introduce you to some important tools for working
with the Patterns, such as copying and erasing data. They’re basic nuts-andbolts stuff, but don’t ignore them. You’ll need them for the fun things to follow
— like creating your own original Patterns!

50

Hit the top of the Pattern!

Here’s an effect that’s long been a staple in dance and techno music. The Top function lets you instantly
retrigger the entire Pattern from the top — so you can produce all those cool stutter effects and create awesome dynamic hits and accents.
Select and start a Pattern. Then, while the Pattern is playing, hold down [SHIFT] and hit the red Record
([TOP]) button.

Keep holding [SHIFT]
while you hit (press
and release) the
Record button.

Play the button in time with the rhythm, on every beat — like this:
ONE

two

three

four

Watch your timing and keep the beat! Of course, you can get different effects
by playing the button way ahead or way behind the beat, if you want. (We’ll
show you some fancy rhythmic tricks with this in later Tips, too!)

Top

Still, it’s best to hit the button right on the downbeats (“one,” “two,” “three,”
and “four”), and stay in the groove. When you’ve got it right, you’ll feel it.

Instantly returns to beginning (top) of Pattern
during playback. Ideal for creating “stutter”
effects, partial measures, hits, and accents.
While Pattern is playing, hold down [SHIFT]
and press red Record (TOP) button. Release
button and repeat for each time you want Pattern to start from the top.

63

Chapter 13 Pattern Power Tips

51

Shake, Retrigger, and Roll!

In Tip 50, you saw how to use the Top function to play your own stutter hits. Here’s a nifty variation on that
function — it’s called Retrigger & Roll.
Retrigger & Roll does just as its name suggests. It retriggers notes of the Synth track, and repeats them —
like a drum roll.
Select a Pattern and start it up. As the Pattern’s running, hold down [SHIFT] and simultaneously press and
hold the Start/Stop button.

Hear the “roll”? And did you notice how the Rhythm tracks keep chugging along, while the Synth track
spins its wheels?
Try this function at various points in the Pattern — the top, the end, the middle — and listen to what happens. Just keep holding down [SHIFT], and press/hold the Start/Stop button at different points in playback.
Keep in mind, Retrigger & Roll differs from Top in three important ways:
1) It only affects the Synth track.
2) It grabs and hits only a few notes — depending where in the Pattern you
press the button.
3) It automatically repeats the hits for you while you hold the button down.
You’ll find that Retrigger & Roll is a slick way to break the rhythm up a bit,
without losing the flow. It’s also great for throwing hip, “what-was-THAT?”
glitches and stutters into your tracks.
Retrigger & Roll has three different settings. To change the setting:
1) Keep the Roll going (simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and Start/Stop
button).
2) Grab the DATA knob. Make sure you keep holding [SHIFT] and Start/
Stop — and turn the knob to change the setting.

Retrigger & Roll
During Pattern playback, this stops the Synth
track at the point of execution and loops one,
two, or four notes (depending on the Roll
type below). The Rhythm tracks are not
affected. While a Pattern is playing, simultaneously hold [SHIFT] and press/hold the
Start/Stop button.
Roll Types
Determines how many notes are used for
Retrigger & Roll — one, two, or four. The
more notes used, the slower the roll effect.
While the Pattern is playing and while holding
down both [SHIFT] and the Start/Stop button,
use the DATA knob to change the setting.
Settings
Lo (Lo)
One note or step (corresponds to 16th
notes).
mid (Mid)
Two notes (corresponds to two 16th
notes, or half of a beat). However, when
Beat (page 18) is set to “12,” this
becomes three notes.
Hi (Hi)
Four notes (corresponds to a full beat in
a measure).

While the Pattern is cycling, hear how the different settings affect the sound.
And try changing the settings in time with the Pattern as well. There are a lot of
cool rhythmic tricks you can create — just by hitting different settings on the
beat.

64

Roll Types (in Utility)
The default Roll setting can also be changed
from the Utility parameters. Hold down
[SHIFT] and press button [16], repeatedly if
necessary, until “roLL” appears in the display. Use the [DATA] knob to change the setting. (Settings are same as above.)

Chapter 13 Pattern Power Tips

52

Selecting a Voice (Copy Voice)

One important step you can take in creating a Pattern is to select the Voice you’ll be using for it.
Keep in mind that each Pattern includes a Voice, and that strictly speaking, Voices CANNOT be selected separate from their Patterns. However, this function lets you select a Voice that you like from one Pattern, and
copy it to another Pattern.

1 First, select the source Pattern — the one that has the Voice you like.
2 Simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and press [12]
(COPY SEQ/VOICE).
You may have to press the button more than once to call up the “CPY.<”
display.

3 Next, select the destination Pattern.
This is the Pattern you’ll be copying the Voice to. Use the DATA knob.

4 Copy the Voice.
The [12] button should be flashing. Press it once again (the button stops
flashing and stays lit). At the “Y£n” (“Yes or no?”) prompt, press it a third
time to actually copy the Voice to the selected Pattern number, or press
[EXIT] to cancel.

53

Copy Voice
Allows you to copy a Voice from one Pattern
to another. Select the source Pattern, then
use [SHIFT] and [12] to call up “CPY.<”
(Copy Voice). Select the destination Pattern,
and press [12] twice to execute.

Starting a Pattern on a different note

Here’s an interesting way to change the character of a Pattern — without actually changing any of the notes!
The Move Note function simply lets you start playback from any individual step in the Pattern.
For example, in a 16-step Pattern, selecting a value of “-4” moves the Pattern “back” four steps — making
Step 5 the starting point of the Pattern.

1 While the Pattern is stopped, simultaneously hold
down [SHIFT] and press [13] (MOVE/PITCH).
You may have to press the button more than once to call up the “mo>] ([BWD]/[FWD]) buttons to move forward or backward in the Song, measure-by-measure.
Also, try this alternate method below — and move more quickly and easily through the measures.
1) Hold down [SHIFT] and press either of the [BWD]/[FWD] buttons.
2) Then, release the buttons, and use the [DATA] knob.
In this condition, turning the [DATA] knob steps through the measures. For even speedier selection, hold
down [SHIFT] while turning the [DATA] knob — and jump through the Song ten measures at a click.

4 Press the Start/Stop button.
Doing this loops the currently selected Pattern at the currently selected measure. This allows you to hear
your Song edits in the steps below — in real time.
If you want, you can stop playback by pressing the Start/Stop button before going on to Step 5 below.
Or keep it going and continue editing while the Pattern loops.

5 Select the Pattern number to be assigned (to the measure selected
above).
Use the DATA knob. Any of the Patterns can be selected — Preset or User. Remember that you can easily switch between the Preset Patterns and the User Patterns by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing the
[PATTERN] button. (See page 80.)

You may also want to record an initial BPM setting at the first measure of your Song. This
determines the basic tempo for the entire Song. For more information, see Tip 63.)

82

Chapter 15 Song Recording

6 Keep assigning Patterns in this way, repeating Steps 3 - 5 above, until
you’ve created a new Song.
In most cases, you’ll want to repeat a Pattern over several measures, rather than having a different Pattern every measure. To do this, first set the Pattern you want to repeat. Then, in the following measures,
turn the DATA knob counter-clockwise until “----” appears in the display.
This setting selects no new Pattern, and keeps the previous Pattern playing through the measures
assigned this way.
By the way, if you’re creating a Song from scratch, you may not need to enter “----” at all. Just skip
over the measures that you want to stay the same — the AN200 automatically repeats the last Pattern,
until the next new entry.

7 To end the Song, record the “End” mark.
Select the measure FOLLOWING the final measure in the Song, then turn the DATA knob counter-clockwise until “End” appears in the display.
For example, if you recorded the “End” mark to measure 33, the Song plays up through measure 32, then
stops.

8 Press [EXIT] (or the [SONG] button) to leave Song editing.
9 Play back your new Song by pressing the Start/Stop button.
However, you’ll have to use the [BWD]/[FWD] buttons ([SHIFT] + [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons) to select
the starting measure. Make sure to return to the beginning measure — if you want to hear the Song all
the way through.

10 Last and most important — don’t forget to store your new Song.
Go on to Tip 67 right now and save your latest masterwork.

• Recording other data
In addition to Pattern numbers, a variety of other data types can be recorded to the measures
of a Song — such as BPM, Gate Time, Swing, and Reverse. (See page 85.) These let you
change various playback characteristics of the Patterns to suit your Song — without actually
having to change the Pattern data itself!

Song Edit Mode
Call up this mode for recording and editing
Songs. Hold down [SHIFT] and press
[SONG]. (The “S” in the display indicates the
Song mode.)

Measure Select
Determines the measure for recording, editing, and playback. Hold down [SHIFT] and
use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.

Setting the BPM (tempo) for your new Song

In addition to the Patterns, a variety of other settings can be programmed into your Song. One of these is
BPM. It lets you set the playback speed or tempo — for each and every measure, if you want.
Normally, you’ll use this at the start of the Song (see Tip 62, Steps 3 - 5) to make sure the entire Song plays
back at the proper tempo. However, it can also be used to change tempo in middle of the a Song as well.
Work through these steps, and master the procedure. You’ll be using the same method in Tip 64 to program
other settings, too.

1 Enter the Song Edit mode.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press the [SONG] button.

2 Select the desired measure.
Hold down [SHIFT] and use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.

3 Play back the Pattern.
Press the Start/Stop button to loop the Pattern at the selected measure.

4 Call up the BPM setting.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [BPM] ([TAP]).

5 Set the desired BPM value with the DATA knob.
6 Repeat Steps 2 - 5 above as often as you want, for as
many measures as needed.
In most cases, you’ll want to keep the same BPM setting over several measures, or even over the entire
Song. To do this, enter the “----” setting for as many measures as needed. Or, if you’re programming
the Song from scratch, just skip over the measures that you want to stay the same — the AN200 automatically maintains the last setting, until the next new entry.

• Fine tempo changes
The BPM value has an extremely fine resolution of 1/10 beats per minute — for precise control
over the tempo. Use this to set up very gradual speed changes.
• Speed up, slow down
If your Song fits the conventional verse/chorus structure, you might want to play around with
changing the BPM at the beginning of each section. For example, some artists make their choruses slightly faster than the verses, to generate more excitement each time the chorus
comes. Other songs might benefit from the completely opposite approach — slowing down
the chorus to make it sound more dramatic.
Whichever approach you take, make sure to keep the changes consistent from section to section, and keep them small — you want your listeners to FEEL the changes, not consciously
HEAR them.

84

Song Edit — BPM (Tempo)
Determines the speed of Pattern playback (in
beats per minute, or bpm), for the selected
measure. First, select the measure by holding down [SHIFT] and using the [OCT <<]/
[OCT >>] buttons. Then, hold down [SHIFT]
and press [BPM] ([TAP]), and use the DATA
knob to set the value.
Range
20.0 — 300.0 bpm
A setting of “----” maintains the previous measure’s value (no change).

More Song editing features

In Tips 62 and 63 above, you learned how to enter Pattern numbers and BPM values to the measures of your
Song. But that’s not all you can do. In this Tip, we’ll show you how to use the rest of the powerful Song
editing features in your tunes.
By the way, we’ll keep these instructions to the bare-bones minimum. Read about these cool tools, then try
using them in your own Songs and see what you come up with.
Remember, the basic method is the same for all:
1) Enter the Song Edit mode.
(In the Song mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press the [SONG] button.)
2) Select the desired measure.
(Hold down [SHIFT] and use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.)
3) Play back the Pattern.
(Press the Start/Stop button.)
4) Select the event type you want to edit.
(See instructions for each event below.)
5) Set the value.
(Use the DATA knob. In the case of Track Mute below, follow the relevant instructions.)
Naturally, repeat Steps 2 - 5 as often as needed. Press [EXIT] when you’re done editing. And don’t forget to

(Described in Tip 62 above.)
To select:
Press the [PATTERN SELECT] button.

Pitch Offset
Just as with the similar Pattern control (Transpose; on page 36), this lets you change the playback pitch.
By making different settings throughout various measures in the Song, you can program your own chord
progressions, and have the Patterns change key.
To select:
Hold down [SHIFT] and press the [KEYBOARD] button.
Both the [KEYBOARD] button and the PITCH lamp flash, indicating Pitch Offset is selected.

BPM
(Described in Tip 63 above.)
To select:
Hold down [SHIFT] and press the [TAP] button.

Beat
This lets you change the total number of steps in the Pattern at the selected measure. (For details, see
Tip 6.) One use of this would be to create a half-bar Pattern. For example, if you’ve entered a 16-step
Pattern at the measure, setting this to “8” would effectively cut the Pattern in half. If you’re only aiming
for a brief change, remember to reset the Beat in the next measure or so!
To select:
Hold down [SHIFT] and press the [BEAT] ([SWING]) button.
Both the [SWING] button and the BEAT lamp flash, indicating Beat is selected.

Swing
This lets you introduce a swing feel to the Pattern at the selected measure. (See Tip 27 for more information.)
To select:
Press the [SWING] button.
The [SWING] button lights, indicating Swing is selected.

Gate Time
This lets you control the length of the notes for the Pattern at the selected
measure. (See Tip 25 for more information.) You could use this to create
tracks in which the notes grow progressively longer as the Pattern cycles
— by programming successively higher Gate Time values in the measures.
Or have the notes become more and more clipped (staccato) — by making
Gate Time lower and lower in successive measures.
To select:
Hold down [SHIFT] and press the [GATE TIME] ([REVERSE]) button.
Both the [REVERSE] button and the GATE TIME lamp flash, indicating Gate Time
is selected.

Reverse
By setting this to Reverse (“bAC)”), you can have the Pattern at the
selected measure play backwards. (See Tip 25 for more information.)
Alternate between forward and reverse Patterns for special effects. Or program three forward, one reverse — for an interesting four-bar phrase.
To select:
Press the [REVERSE] button.

Song Edit — Event Select
This lets you select the particular event to be
recorded or edited in a Song. Eight event
types are available: Pattern Select, Pitch Offset, BPM (page 84), Beat, Swing, Gate Time,
Reverse, and Track Mute. To select, make
sure Song Edit mode is active ([SHIFT] +
[SONG]), then press the appropriate button
(using [SHIFT] if necessary). Alternately,
hold down [SHIFT] and press [SONG] repeatedly to toggle through all eight event types.

Track Mute
Add some texture to your Song with this function. By recording Track Mute
events you can have tracks drop in and out of your arrangements, for exciting dynamic changes.
To select and edit:
Hold down [SHIFT] and press either the [SYNTH TRACK] or [RHYTHM TRACK]
button. Then, press the appropriate Step button: [1] for the Synth track, and
[2], [3], and [4] for the Rhythm tracks. The status for each track is shown in the

Adding Patterns to your Song — Insert Pattern

Naturally, you can add Patterns to your existing Songs — by using the Insert Pattern function. This puts a
new Pattern in the Song at the measure you specify.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the Song mode or the Song Edit mode — you can insert a Pattern from
either.

1 First, select the measure you want to insert the Pattern to, by holding
[SHIFT] and using the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.
2 Call up the Insert Pattern function.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [10] (INS/DEL PTN). You may have to press
the button more than once to call up the “inS” (Insert Pattern) display.

3 Next, select the Pattern you want to add to your Song.
Use the DATA knob.
4 Insert the selected Pattern.
The [10] button should be flashing. Press it once again (the button stops flashing and stays lit). At the
“Y£n” (“Yes or no?”) prompt, press it a third time to actually insert the Pattern to the selected measure,
or press [EXIT] to cancel.
Take a look at the illustration below and see what happens when you insert a Pattern.

Don’t forget to store your newly edited Song, or you’ll lose any edits you’ve made once you turn the power
off or select another Song or Pattern.

• Replacing a Pattern
If you want to replace a Pattern — in other words, erasing one and putting a new one in its
place — you’ll need to use Delete Pattern (page 88) to delete the Pattern first. Then, use Insert
Pattern to put the new one in.

Insert Pattern
Allows you insert a Pattern to any measure
within an existing Song. All subsequent Patterns/measures are displaced.
With Song (or Song Edit) mode active, hold
[SHIFT] and use [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons
to select desired measure. Hold [SHIFT] and
press [10] to call up “inS” (Insert), select
the desired Pattern number with the DATA
knob, and press [10] twice to execute.

Taking Patterns out of your Song — Delete Pattern

If you’ve made a mistake in creating your Song, you can always clear it (page 81) and start over. Or you can
use Delete Pattern to erase the offending entry, and keep the other Patterns intact.
Delete Pattern lets you take Patterns out of specific measures in your existing Songs. Keep in mind, however, it makes your Song shorter by one measure AND it doesn’t leave an empty space — any Patterns that
follow the deleted one move back to fill the vacated measure.
Delete Pattern can be used in either the Song mode or the Song Edit mode.

1 First, select the measure that contains the Pattern you want to delete.
Hold [SHIFT] and use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons.

2 Call up the Delete Pattern function.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [10] (INS/DEL PTN). You may have to press
the button more than once to call up the “dEL” (Delete Pattern) display.

3 Delete the Pattern.
The [10] button should be flashing. Press it once again (the button stops flashing and stays lit). At the
“Y£n” (“Yes or no?”) prompt, press it a third time to actually delete the Pattern from the selected measure, or press [EXIT] to cancel.
Here’s an example of what happens when you use Pattern Delete. In the illustration below, we’ll delete
Pattern 013 at Measure 3.

Storing your new Song

Now that you’ve created and arranged a new Song, you’ll want to save it for future recall. The AN200 gives
you a total of 10 memory spaces for saving your original Songs.

Once you’ve created a Song you want to save, DO NOT select another Song and DO NOT leave
the Song mode until you’ve stored it. Selecting another Song (or Pattern) automatically wipes
clean any changes or edits you’ve made!

Delete Pattern can be used in either the Song mode or the Song Edit mode.

1 Make sure Memory Protect is turned off.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [16] until the “Prot” (Protect) display is shown. Then, set Memory Protect to OFF with the DATA knob.
Press the [EXIT] button to leave Memory Protect.

2 With your new Song still up and waiting, press
[STORE].
“S.Str” briefly appears to indicate Store operation.

3 Select the desired Song number (01 - 10) with the
DATA knob.
4 Press [STORE] again to actually store the Pattern, or press [EXIT] to cancel.

• Keep on saving
Save ALL of your Songs — memory is cheap! If you have a sequencer or MIDI data filer, you
can use the AN200’s Bulk Send function (page 108) to save your valuable Song data in multiple “banks” of 10 Songs to disk — and build up a whole library of tunes.
However, make sure to save any relevant Pattern data with the Songs and load them together.
If you don’t do this, your Songs and Patterns may not match each other!
• Song backup
You may want to use Store to save different versions of your Song — even as you’re working
on it. This gives you an archive of the changes you’ve made along the way — in case you want
to call one of them up again. You can erase the unneeded versions later if you want.

Store Song
Allows you to save Song data to one of 10
Song memory locations.
With the new Song still active and Memory
Protect off, press [STORE]. Select the
desired Song number with the DATA knob,
and press [STORE] again to execute, or press
[EXIT] to cancel.

Speed Tips for
Power Users
Work smarter, not harder!
In this section, we’ll show you some nifty ways to put your editing in high gear
— so you can get MORE out of your AN200 in LESS time.

68

Using [SHIFT] with the [DATA] knob — for leaps
and bounds!

The [DATA] knob is really useful for narrowing in on a value and fine-tuning the parameter settings. However, if you’re in a hurry and want to quickly jump through the available values, it can be cumbersome.
Not when you use the [SHIFT] button, however. To speed up the [DATA] knob, hold down [SHIFT] while you
turn it.

Use this operation especially:
• For selecting Patterns
This speed operation lets you jump 10 Patterns for every click of the [DATA] knob.
• For setting the BPM
Holding [SHIFT] lets you go 10 times faster through the BPM values (1 bpm/click).
• For Instrument Select (in Step Recording, Rhythm Track)
Jump among the instrument selections, then take your finger off [SHIFT] and narrow your selection
down.
Actually, this [SHIFT]-[DATA] knob shortcut is useful for just about ANY value-changing operation. Use it
for the synth-related knobs, and use it to jump around on playback controls, such as Gate Time and Transpose.

Chapter 16 Speed Tips for Power Users

Using [SHIFT] to “hold” a setting

Editing on the AN200 is quick and easy — you press a button or turn a knob, and the setting/value changes.
However, convenient as it is, there are times when you want to select a parameter without changing it.
Here’s an example. Let’s say you’ve selected the “hidden” Reverb Effect in your editing session, and you go
on to edit something else. Wanting to come back to edit Reverb again, you press the EFFECT [TYPE] button.
Whoops... You’ve just changed the Effect Type to Flanger!
To get around this, use [SHIFT]. Hold down [SHIFT], then press EFFECT [TYPE]. Doing this calls up the current Effect Type — without changing it.
Use this operation with ALL of the Voice “button” settings — such as LFO Detail, EG Select, Key Assign, and
so on.

70

Gang-editing a group of Steps

No, we’re not advocating the use of violence here... This convenient Step Recording shortcut lets you
change the setting for up to 16 Steps — instantly and all at the same time.

1 In Step Recording, select the desired parameter for editing: Pitch, Gate
Time, or Velocity. (Or Instrument Select, if you’re working on a Rhythm
track.)
2 Select the Step row you want to start the group from.
For example, if you want to group Steps 5 -16 for editing, select row 1 - 8 (by pressing any button in this
row). If you want to group-edit Steps 11 - 16, select row 9 - 16.

3 Hold down [SHIFT] and turn the knob corresponding
to the first step in the group.
If you’ve selected the top row (1 - 8) in Step #2 above, this will instantly
and automatically set all Steps 5 - 16 to the same value. If you’ve
selected the bottom row (9 - 16), turning the NOISE LEVEL knob will set
Steps 13 - 16 to the same value.
Typical uses of this include:
• Setting all Steps to the same instrument (in the Rhythm tracks).
• Setting all Steps to the same Velocity or Gate Time, then slightly tweaking individual Steps for variation.
• For when several Steps have the same value — you can set all Steps at once, then go back and change
only the Steps you want to have different values.

Real World Tips
This chapter is a grab bag full of various practical tips that solidify your programming chops and put you on the way to truly mastering the instrument.
You’ve seen all these features before. Now, try them out in these real-world
examples — and explore some new, uncharted sound-shaping paths on your
own.

71

Adjusting the Gate Time with the [DATA] knob

Gate Time is a simple, yet effective way to change both the sound and feel of a Pattern. Try this tip in real
time, as the Pattern is playing — for dramatic, dynamic shifts.

1 Select and play a Pattern.
2 Call up Gate Time.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [GATE TIME] ([REVERSE]).

3 Tweak the [DATA] knob slowly to the left.
Very gradually, start turning Gate Time down — from 100, down to 40, 20, then even 10 or 1.
Hear what this does to all the tracks? Hear how everything — including the drums — is clipped, creating a tight, muted sound and producing a drop in dynamics.

4 Now, as quickly as you can, bring Gate Time back up to 60, 80 or 100 — or
more.
Hold [SHIFT] while you turn the [DATA] knob — that lets you jump through the values, and instantaneously bring the dynamics back up. Try to do it right before the first beat of a measure — and kick
everything back in on the “one.”

72

Adjusting the pitch with the [DATA] knob

Let’s do some more work with the [DATA] knob. This time we’ll play around with the pitch — using the
Transpose function.

1 Select and play a Pattern.
2 Call up Transpose.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [TRANSPOSE] ([KEYBOARD]).

3 While the Pattern is playing, use the [DATA] knob to
bring the pitch up and down.
For wild pitch changes, hold down [SHIFT] while you work the knob. Try alternating on beat between two
widely different values (for example, “-20” and “30”). Try also whipping the pitch way up in 60s
range, then bringing down to the 40s. Try random pitch changes, too, as the Pattern cycles. Lots of fun
stuff here!

92

Chapter 17 Real World Tips

73

Changing the pitch with the keyboard

As you saw in Tip 26, you can use the keyboard of the AN200 to change pitch and even create chord progressions on the fly. But you can get really wild and crazy with this feature, too — and come up with some
truly mad techno mayhem.

1 Select and play a Pattern.
2 Call up Transpose.
Hold [SHIFT] and press [TRANSPOSE] ([KEYBOARD]).

3 Now, “play” the pitch changes from the keyboard.
Try out these specific exercises and see where they take you!
• Starting with button [9] (low C on the keyboard), go up chromatically — pressing each successive key
in turn. Try it in rhythm, pressing a different key every other beat, like this:
ONE

two THREE four

ONE

two THREE four

ONE

two THREE four

ONE

two THREE four

ONE

two THREE four

ONE

two THREE four

Count “ONE-two-THREE-four,” hitting the buttons on “ONE” and “THREE.”
• Use the [OCT <<]/[OCT >>] buttons, too! Try selecting different octaves on the fly, and pressing various keys.
• Can you play a two-finger trill? (A trill is two notes played alternately — very quickly.) If you can’t do
it with one hand, try two. For example, alternate between buttons [10] and [12] (D and F), like this:
ONE

AND

TWO

AND

THREE

AND

FOUR

AND

Here, you play two keys on every beat — count “ONE-AND-TWO-AND-THREE-AND-FOUR-AND,” and hit
each count!

Assigning Patterns for your gig

When you perform live, you need to think quick and move fast. So keep things simple — and use this tip to
help you streamline your onstage work.
You saw in Tips 3 and 31 how you can use the Pattern Select feature to instantly switch Patterns as you perform. If you’ve got a lot of Patterns to trigger during a performance, it makes sense to lay them out in the
order you’ll use them. That’s what Pattern Assign is for.
First, make a list of the Patterns you’ll need, in the order you’ll use them. Then, go down the list and assign
the appropriate Pattern to each number button. (Remember how? Hold down [SHIFT] and press [PATTERN
ASSIGN], then press a number button and use the [DATA] knob to select the Pattern.)

78

Chord progressions with Pattern Assign

If you work with chord progressions, you can create copies of a Pattern select setup to different pitches, and
play those Patterns from the keys.
Use the Copy Sequence function (page 67) to copy a Pattern several times. Then, edit each Pattern copy as
needed with the Pitch function (page 66). Finally, use Pattern Assign (page 40) to assign the Patterns to the
appropriate keys.
Keep things simple and logical. Assign a Pattern to the matching key. In other words, if your Pattern is in
the key of C, assign it to button [9]. If the Pattern’s in F, assign it to [12]. A Pattern in G would go to button
[13], and so on.

Master Class 1 —
Onstage
Now that you’ve got the hang of the instrument, it’s time to start strutting your
AN200 chops onstage. There are a lot of truly amazing things you can do with
the AN200 — especially once you put it together with some other MIDI gear.
Here are some ideas to get you started...

79

Sync the AN200 to your sequencer

The sophisticated sync features of the AN200 let you lock it in step with the rhythm of just about any other
MIDI device, such as a computer, rhythm machine or external sequencer. No drift, no glitching, no slipping
out of sync — the two machines stay perfectly in the same groove.
This is great for live situations. For example, you could use a computer or sequencer for your main tracks
and fly in some AN200 Patterns as you perform — while everything stays in perfect sync.
In this application, the sequencer is the “master,” or controlling device, and the AN200 is the “slave.”

1 Set up the AN200 and the sequencer.
Connect the two as shown with a standard MIDI cable.

2 Call up the Clock setting on the AN200.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14] (MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until “CLo)” appears
in the display.

3 Set Clock to “External.”
Turn the [DATA] knob until “E$t” is shown.

96

Chapter 18 Master Class 1 — Onstage

4 Start song or sequence playback on the other device.
When you start and stop playback on the connected MIDI device, the Pattern or Song on the AN200 starts and stops at the same time. Naturally,
you can change the bpm on the other device, and the AN200 will instantly
and automatically follow right along.
If you want, you can use the AN200 as the master device. Just make sure
the Clock on the AN200 is set to “Internal” — otherwise, you won’t be able
to start the Patterns or Songs from the AN200, nor control the other device.
For settings on the other device, refer to the relevant owner’s manual. (For
an example showing the AN200 as the master, see Tip 82.)

Clock
Sets the AN200 to either send or receive MIDI
clock messages. This determines whether
the AN200 functions as the master or slave in
MIDI sync applications. When using the
AN200 alone or to control a connected
device, set this to Internal (“int”). When
controlling the AN200 from a connected
device, set this to External (“E$t”). Keep in
mind, the Patterns or Songs cannot be
started from the AN200 if this is set to External.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14]
(MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until
“CLo)” appears in the display, then use the
[DATA] knob to make the desired setting.
Settings
int (Internal)
Sends MIDI clock messages, for controlling the sync of another device.
E$t (External)
Receives MIDI clock messages, for syncing to another device.

80

Changing the MIDI channels

In general, you won’t need to fool with these settings. But they’re here if you ever DO need them.
The four tracks of the AN200 — Synth and Rhythm 1 - 3 — are fixed to receive
data over MIDI Channels 1 through 4, respectively. To match the tracks to a
controlling MIDI keyboard or sequencer, you may have to change these settings. Each track also features an “off” setting, so you can disable a track’s
MIDI reception if you want.
Here, we’ll show you how to change the MIDI Receive Channel for the Synth
track. The Rhythm tracks can be changed in the same way.

1 Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14] (MIDI
SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until “SY.u1” appears
in the display.

2 Change the channel with the [DATA] knob.

MIDI Receive Channel — Synth
Track, Rhythm Tracks 1 - 3
Determines the MIDI channel over which the
appropriate track receives MIDI data. Make
sure the Receive Channel of the desired track
matches the Transmit Channel setting on the
controlling keyboard or sequencer.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14],
repeatedly if necessary, until the desired setting is shown:
“SY.u1” — Synth Track (set to default of
Channel 1)
“r1.u2” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 2)
“r1.u3” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 3)
“r1.u4” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 4)
Use the [DATA] knob to change the value.
The “----” setting corresponds to “off.”

1 — 16, “----” (off)

Loopfactory setup — with the SU200

As part of Yamaha’s new Loopfactory series, the AN200 is not just a great analog-style synthesizer — it also
excels in loop-based music production systems. In this Tip and the ones that follow, we’ll take a look at
some of ways you can use the powerful and versatile Loopfactory line to shake up the dance floor.
In this simple setup, the AN200 is paired with the SU200 Sampling Unit — a small phrase sampler with a
special Loop Track feature that time-stretches your samples and keeps them all in sync.
Here, the AN200 is the controlling “master” and the SU200 is the “slave.” (For more about masters and
slaves, see Tips 79 and 82.) Make sure you set the SU200 to External Sync for this one (MIDI Clock in the
Job mode). Naturally, the AN200 must be set to Internal Sync (page 96).

starting the Patterns and the SU200 tracks simultaneously with the Start/Stop button. And as an added
bonus, the SU200 serves double duty as an audio mixer — outputting the sound of both the AN200 and
SU200.

Loopfactory sync system — with the DX200

In case you didn’t know, the AN200 has a sister synthesizer — almost a twin sister, actually. The DX200 has
many of the same sound-shaping controls, plus all of the Pattern and Song features that are found on the AN200.
Yet, as similar as these siblings are, their actual sound is VERY different. The DX200 is a recreation of the
enormously popular DX7 synthesizer, and features a full implementation of the FM Synthesis system that
powered the DX7 — not to mention a stunning array of incredibly dynamic digital FM Voices.
Side by side in a MIDI sequencing environment, these two give you the best of the analog and digital worlds,
and provide an enormous amount of sonic versatility.
But even without a computer or sequencer, you can still get a lot out of these two units, especially in live performance situations — just hook them together and sync them up. With one as the “master” and the other
the “slave,” you can have them play their respective Patterns in perfect sync with each other. Add a DJ
mixer, and you’ve got a compact yet powerful DJ setup for laying down some slammin’ beats.

1 Connect the AN200 and the DX200 as shown.

their motions the instant you press Start/Stop on the AN200. Press it again, and they’ll stop together on a
dime.
Work the fader on your DJ mixer to switch between the two units as they play, to mix up your rhythms and
create some truly happening tracks.

• Syncing Songs
Naturally, you can also play Songs on both machines in perfect sync
with each other. For best results, you should make sure that:
*
*
*
*

The Songs on both the AN200 and the DX200 are of the same length.
The Patterns on both machines work well with each other.
Both Songs have the same Beat settings throughout.
Both Songs don’t deviate too much from each other in the Swing settings, either — unless you’re aiming for some special, weird effects.

83

• Bulk Send your music
To help out in the Power Hint above, try using the Bulk Send function
(page 108) to transfer Songs between the AN200 and DX200. For
example, program a Song on the AN200, then transfer just the Song
data to the DX200. Keep in mind, this will keep your Songs in sync —
however, the Patterns on the respective machines could be wildly different. If you want to keep everything consistent on both devices, Bulk
Send ALL the data from one machine to the other.

Loopfactory sampling

Here’s a nifty little variation on Tip 81 above. First, hook up the outputs of the AN200 and the SU200 to an
external mixer — to pump the sounds out to the crowd. Then, use the Aux Send on the mixer to feed the
AN200 sound to the sampling input on the SU200 — and sample the Patterns of the AN200.

Things can get a little wild and wooly here. Naturally, this system lets you sync the SU200 to the AN200.
However, the sampling function really makes this setup special. Sample some different AN200 Patterns to
the SU200 and have the AN200 play one Pattern while you fly in samples of other Patterns — in perfect
sync, of course. And use the real-time control features on BOTH machines to mess up your beats on the fly
and create some chaos.
Be smart and do your sampling before you take the stage, so you have everything all set up. Or live dangerously, and sample your AN200 beats while you perform.

Full DJ system — turntable and all!

Bring the Loopfactory into your DJ setup — for the best of the analog and digital worlds. This builds on the
setup in Tip 83 above by adding a turntable and/or CD player. (Make sure your turntable has line-level outputs, or that your mixer can boost phono signals.)

Do some sampling here, too. Sample your vinyl or CD beats to the SU200, and mix them in as you play.
And sample the AN200, like you did in Tip 83. Have the AN200 play its Patterns while you fly in your new
samples — without missing a beat.

85

Loopfactory megasetup — with MIDI Thru

Here’s where you can take the Loopfactory to the max. Start the system with the RM1x Sequence Remixer,
a mixer (you’ll need at least eight input channels), and your AN200. Then bring the DX200 and SU200 into
the fracas, and get things really smoking.
Use your sequencer data on the RM1x to play the Voices of the AN200 and DX200 (NOT the Patterns). This
way you can take advantage of the special characteristics of each of these synthesizers — playing the analog
sound of the AN200 in 5-note polyphony, and the FM synthesis sounds of the DX200 in 16-note polyphony.
Plus, with the SU200 locked in sync, you can play the samples on that unit using the Loop Track feature —
and keep everything right in the pocket.

In this system, all the MIDI devices are connected in “daisy-chain” fashion.
This setup trick can help when you find yourself with too many synthesizers —
and not enough ways to connect them.
The key to making this work is the AN200’s MIDI Thru function (see Tech Talk
box below). MIDI Thru lets you change how the MIDI OUT terminal behaves,
allowing you to chain together an additional tone generator or two to the
AN200 — and have a connected computer or sequencer control the whole lot.
Make sure that you set MIDI Thru to “on” for BOTH the AN200 and the DX200.
In this condition, any data sent to and received via the AN200’s MIDI IN terminal, is immediately and directly relayed to the MIDI OUT terminal — allowing
the DX200 and SU200 to be controlled by the RM1x.

• Sampling madness
For additional sonic mayhem, route the Aux Send on the mixer back to the SU200 input (as in
Tips 83 and 84), and sample the Patterns of the AN200 and DX200.
• The more, the merrier
Naturally, if you have other synthesizers with MIDI THRU terminals, you can extend the chain
and have them join in on the fun. However, be careful not to “daisy-chain” too many devices in
this way — otherwise a MIDI delay may result.
• More instruments, more parts
If you’re careful in setting the MIDI channels on all the connected devices, you can play several
different, independent sounds on each device. For example, if you’ve connected a DX200 to
the MIDI Thru (OUT) terminal, you should set the MIDI Receive Channels (page 97) on the
DX200 to values different than the AN200. If the AN200 is set to receive over Channels 1, 2, 3,
and 4, set the DX200 to receive over 5, 6, 7, and 8.

102

MIDI Thru
Determines whether the MIDI OUT terminal
on the rear panel of the AN200 functions as a
true MIDI Out, or is switched to function as
MIDI Thru. When this is set to “on,” any
MIDI data received at MIDI IN is passed on
without change to the MIDI OUT terminal.
This allows you to connect other MIDI
devices in“daisy-chain” fashion, and have the
first device in the chain feed data to the others.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14]
(MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until
“tHru” appears in the display. Use the

Playing the AN200 as a synthesizer

The AN200 is an extremely powerful and versatile synthesizer, with truly vintage analog-like sound. And one
of the best ways to harness that power is to hook up a MIDI keyboard. Do this, and explore the wealth of
Voices and the full 5-note polyphony of the AN200.
Setting up the keyboard couldn’t be easier — just plug it in, and connect the MIDI OUT on the keyboard to
the MIDI IN on the AN200.
AN200
MIDI keyboard

MIDI IN

MIDI OUT

To check that everything’s set up properly, play the keyboard — you should hear the synth sound of the
AN200. (If you don’t, see “X-tra Details” below.)

• MIDI Channels
More than likely, your MIDI keyboard is probably set to send data over
channel 1 — which will let you play and record the Synth track.

Rhythm Track 1 — MIDI channel 2
Rhythm Track 2 — MIDI channel 3
Rhythm Track 3 — MIDI channel 4

However, if you want to play or record any of the Rhythm tracks, you’ll
have to change the channel on the keyboard to match the appropriate
track:

You can also change these assignments on the AN200 — see Tip 80.
For instructions on changing the MIDI channel of the keyboard, refer to
the owner’s manual of that instrument.

• What keyboard should I get?
Naturally, any MIDI keyboard will do the job for you. As long as it’s got
keys (preferably both black and white) and a MIDI OUT terminal, you’re
in business.
However, to get the most out of your extraordinarily versatile AN200,
you’ll need an equally versatile MIDI keyboard. Here’s what you should
look for:

* After Touch — Another expression control, After Touch lets you
change the sound (most commonly LFO modulation; Tips 32 — 35)
by pressing down hard on the keys after you play them. A really
good keyboard will let you change the MIDI Control Change assignment on this, so you can control anything you want — such as Cutoff
or Effect Depth (Wet). (For details on MIDI Control Change messages, refer to the MIDI Data Format section in the Appendix.)

* Five-octave (61-key) keyboard — There are some very good desktop keyboards (such as the Yamaha CBX-K1) that have fewer keys,
but you’ll probably want at least five octaves to play with... so you
can use both hands.

* Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels — Most keyboards have these.
Pitch Bend lets you bend the pitch (obviously). The Modulation
wheel usually affects the LFO, but on a good keyboard this too can be
changed.

* Velocity sensitivity — This feature lets you control the dynamics of
the sound by how softly or strongly you play the keyboard. Plus, it
also affects the FEG, so you can add some filter bite just by playing
harder. If you want expressive sounding tracks, there’s really no substitute for this.

* Extra (assignable) MIDI controllers — This is a luxury item. If you
can afford it, go for it. Some keyboards (such as the Yamaha CS2x)
give you an extra set of knobs or faders that you can assign to many
of the AN200’s controls. (For more about MIDI controllers, refer to
the MIDI Data Format section in the Appendix.)

Recording to a sequencer

As a “desktop” synthesizer, the AN200 is absolutely perfect for computer recording applications. In fact, if
you DON’T have a computer or a hardware sequencer, you’re leaving a good portion of the AN200’s incredible potential untapped.
You’ve already worked with the step sequencer on the AN200 itself for recording Patterns and Songs. However, with a separate sequencer or a computer, you can take advantage of even greater recording power and
editing flexibility. Use one of the example setups below to record songs to a sequencer and play them back
with the sounds of the AN200.

XGworks lite — which you can find in the included CD-ROM. In the bottom example, the RM1x Sequence
Remixer is used for recording.
A few important points:
• Make sure all MIDI connections are correct — the INs go to the OUTs, and the OUTs to the INs.
• Set the MIDI keyboard to match the receive channel of the AN200. (This may be controllable from the
computer. You can also change the receive setting on the AN200; see page 97.)
• Make sure that MIDI Thru (or MIDI Echo) on the computer or sequencer is set to “on.” This lets you
hear the sound of the AN200 as you play the keyboard.
• Since the Synth Voices of the AN200 play on Channel 1, make sure that any recorded tracks on the
sequencer are set to play via MIDI Channel 1.
• Remember that the AN200 has Rhythm tracks, and that you can use these in recording, too. Just be
careful to make the correct channel settings. (The Rhythm tracks normally receive on Channels 2, 3,
and 4. If you want to change these, see Tip 80.)
Other settings may be necessary as well; refer to the relevant owner’s manuals.

Recording AN200 knob moves to a sequencer

Have you got an external sequencer or computer? And are you using the AN200 as a synthesizer (as we
covered in Tip 86) to play back your sequencer tracks? If so, here’s a power-user Tip for you that will give
you undreamed-of control over the sound.
Here, you’ll learn how to record all your knob moves and button presses to your sequencer. Which means
when you play back your song, all the changes you make to the Voice automatically play back, too. It’s like
having an second Free EG function (page 60) — but with an unlimited amount of tracks to work with.
The following procedure is a bit complicated — in that many of the instructions depend on the settings and
capabilities of your particular sequencer, and how familiar you are with them. If you find yourself in deep
water, refer to the relevant owner’s manual.

1 Connect the AN200 and the external sequencer as shown.

2 Set up the sequencer appropriately for receiving the control data and for
playing the AN200.
Specifically, make sure that:
• All MIDI channel settings are correct. The tracks for playing the AN200 should be set to the same
MIDI channel as the Synth track. By default, the Synth track is set to receive over Channel 1, though
this can be changed on the AN200 (see page 97).
• The track or tracks having note data are properly set to play, and that a new track (for the knob moves)
is set to record.

3 While listening to the playback, tweak the knobs of
the AN200.
If everything’s been set up properly, every move you make will be recorded
as Control Change data. (For information on the parameters and their corresponding Control Change numbers, refer to the MIDI Data Format.)
The AN200 also lets you choose between having a full parameter set for
control, or a limited one. (See Tech Talk below.)

4 Stop the song and play it back to hear your recorded
changes.
Go on to record more knob moves to additional tracks on the sequencer, if
you want.

• Any function called “MIDI Thru” or “MIDI Echo” on the sequencer is set to “off.” If the
sequencer’s MIDI Thru is on, you could get unwanted double data.
• If you’re recording the same knob to different tracks, you may want to mute previous
tracks as you go along. Also, be aware that too many knob moves and button presses
could clog the data flow and result in glitches or undesirable changes in the sound.

Control Change In/Out

set of parameters for sending and receiving
Control Change data, or a full set. (For details
on available parameters and their assignments, refer to the MIDI Data Format.)

(MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until
“CCio” appears in the display. Use the

Editing the AN200 from a computer

If you’ve worked through most or all of the Tips in this book, you can rightfully consider yourself a master
programmer and expert user of the AN200.
Well, almost.
Actually, we hate to break it to you — but you’ve only scratched the surface of the enormous sound-shaping
potential of the AN200...
This instrument is deep — much, much deeper than just what’s available on the front panel. However, you
can have all that editing power and depth right at your fingertips — with the AN200 Editor.
The AN200 Editor is special software that works on your Macintosh or PC-compatible computer. It allows
you to directly edit all of the AN200 Voice settings and parameters — right from your computer. It’s also
extraordinarily intuitive, with a virtual front panel that gives you at-a-glance, full control over your AN200.

MIDI sequencer controls — Start, Continue, Stop

This function gives you detailed control over how the AN200 handles MIDI
sequencer control messages — Start, Continue, and Stop.
The major use for this minor function is to keep the AN200 from starting its
own Patterns (or from starting a connected sequencer). This comes in handy
when using the AN200 strictly as a tone generator in a larger MIDI system.
For example, if you are using the song data on a sequencer to play the AN200’s
Voices, you wouldn’t want the Patterns to play when you clicked PLAY. Similarly, there may be times when you want to play a Pattern on the AN200, yet
want to avoid starting the sequencer at the same time.

1 With the AN200 properly connected in a MIDI system,
call up the MIDI Control setting on the AN200.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14] (MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until “m.CtL” appears in the display.

2 Use the [DATA] knob to make the desired setting: On,
Out, In, or Off.
See “Tech Talk” below for details on the settings.

MIDI Control
Determines whether or not the AN200
receives and/or sends sequencer control

message (FA hexadecimal) tells a MIDI device
to go to the beginning of its song and start
playing. Continue (FB hexadecimal) is similar
to Start, except that the device will play from
the current location — not necessarily the
beginning. The Stop message (FC hexadecimal) tells the device to stop playing the song.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14]

“m.CtL” appears in the display, then use the

Saving Patterns and Songs to a MIDI data filer

Another fantastic thing about MIDI is all the data storage options it gives you. With the use of a MIDI data
filer (such as the Yamaha MDF3) or MIDI sequencing software (such as the included XGworks lite), you can
save all your valuable Song and User Pattern data for future recall — any time you need it. Plus, you can
amass a whole library’s worth of Songs and Patterns on just a few floppy disks.
The technological magic that makes this possible goes by the mundane name of “Bulk Send.” In this Tip,
you’ll learn how to use Bulk Send to save your precious data. Then in Tip 92 below, you’ll learn how to load
it all back to the AN200.

1 Set up the AN200 and the recording device.
Connect the two as shown with a standard MIDI cable.

4 Go back to the connected device and start recording.
This operation too may differ depending on your particular device. On most
sequencing software (such as XGworks lite), this can be as simple as clicking the Record button.

5 Execute the Bulk Send operation.

Loading back your saved Patterns and Songs

Once you’ve saved your valuable data, you can bring it all back to your AN200 — with this simple operation.

1 Set up the AN200 and the recording device.
Connect the two as shown with a standard MIDI cable.
Load your Song/Pattern
data from the connected
device.

Make the proper connections and make sure the connected device has the appropriate data on disk.
(Setup for Bulk Send on the other device may involve some additional steps; refer to the relevant owner’s
manual for details.)

2 Make sure the AN200 is set to Pattern mode.
Press the [PATTERN] button if necessary.

BEFORE you load anything to the AN200, make sure you have no important unsaved data
remaining on the instrument — it will all be erased in the operation! Best thing to do is use Bulk
Send to first save the existing data (as a temporary file), then go ahead and load the data.

3 Start the Bulk Send (or other appropriate) operation on the connected
device.
This operation too may differ depending on your particular device. On most sequencing software (such
as XGworks lite), this can be as simple as clicking the Play button.
That’s all there is to it! The AN200 automatically receives the data and loads it to the proper memory location.

• Lifesaver for live applications
Bulk Send is real handy for performers. If you’re gigging and the
AN200 is your main workhorse, you may need more than the 10 User
Songs to get by. Fortunately, you can save your data in 10-Song banks
(might as well save your Pattern data, too) — then load each bank as
you need it, between sets.

• Be a pack rat
You really ought to save everything you’ve ever created on the AN200.
Floppy disks are small and cheap, and you’ll be glad you archived all
your precious masterworks.

Appendix

Analog Physical Modeling Synthesis and the AN200
At the heart of the AN200’s stunning, dynamic analog-like sound is a highly sophisticated
and versatile tone generating method — the Analog Physical Modeling Synthesis system.
We won’t try to explain how Analog Physical Modeling works — that would take several
pages. Besides, you can hear for yourself the enormous power and punch this system
delivers. In this section, we’ll just briefly outline the structure of the AN200, and show you
what happens to the sound within the AN200 system as it’s generated, processed and
enhanced.
■ Oscillators, Filters and Amplifiers • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Very simply, there are three basic elements of sound: pitch, tone (or timbre) and volume (or “amplitude” in
synth-speak). Within the AN200, these three elements are created or controlled by the VCO (oscillator), VCF
(filter), and VCA (amplifier).

VCO

VCF

VCA

OUT

The amplifier determines the volume
The filter controls the timbre
The oscillator creates the source pitch
(and also the basic timbre, depending on the waveform)

And that’s basically how the AN200 creates sound. Of course, there are a few other elements in the system
— as you can see here:

Analog Physical Modeling Synthesis and the AN200
■ VCO 1 and VCO 2• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Here is where the sound begins. The VCO generates a waveform — usually relatively simple ones, such as
sine, saw, and square waves. The AN200 features two independent VCOs, each with an extensive wave set,
providing sound-creating capabilities that are exceptionally complex and flexible — for a dynamic, rich
sound that would be impossible with just one VCO. (Also see Tips 42, 44, and 46.)
What’s more, VCO 1 is actually made up of two oscillators, which can be configured as “master” and “slave.”
Plus, VCO 2 can be used to modulate VCO 1, for even greater sonic complexity.
The PEG block (Tip 36) is used to control how the pitches of the VCOs change over time. LFOs 1 and 2
(Tips 32 - 35) are modulation waves that can be routed not only to the VCO but the VCF and VCA blocks as
well — for creating a variety of special tremolo, wah, and vibrato effects.

■ VCF • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Here’s where the sound is processed. The VCF takes the sound of the VCOs and filters out certain frequency
ranges. The more complex the sound generated by the VCOs, the greater the sound-shaping potential of
this section.
VCF includes a comprehensive set of different filter types (such as Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and
Band Eliminate), and provides controls for adjusting the Cutoff frequency of the filter, and the Resonance (or
emphasis) of the frequency cutoff point. (Also see Tips 18 - 20.)
The FEG block (Tip 37) is used to control how the filter of the VCF changes over time. A special FEG Depth
control (Tips 20, 38, and 39) also affects VCF operation.

■ VCA • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Finally, here’s where the sound level is controlled. The VCA (controlled over time by the AEG block; see Tip
36) outputs the sound, before it is sent to the Effect block for more processing. (Also see Tips 15 - 17.)

*1. The effect of the controller on the parameter value is either added or multiplied as indicated. Also, when two or more different controllers are simultaneously assigned
and applied to the same parameter, the combined effect of the controllers on the parameter value follows the same rule (is either added or multiplied).
*2. For these parameters, positive values decrease the time, making the EG rate faster.
