The History…

Why is the “analog sound” so popular in a digital

age? What long and winding road had to be

traveled—just to end up right back where we started

from? Let’s take a quick look at how we got from there

to here, and where here really is, anyway.

Electronic music synthesis has been around in one form

or another since the beginning of the 20th Century. But

it wasn’t until the early 1970s that developments in

voltage controlled synthesis technology made the

concept practical—and affordable.

As such, the voltage controlled synthesizer became less

and less an experimental curiosity in the world’s great

universities and sound labs and more and more a

valid—and revolutionary—musical instrument in its own

right. It quickly became a staple in professional

recording studios, and its myriad sounds started

gracing the ears of millions through popular recordings

in literally all genres of music.

Then came the 1980s, and the introduction of wildly

popular, affordable-for-the-masses, great-sounding and

easy-to-use digital synths like the famous Yamaha DX7.

What followed was the MIDI revolution, which drove

the rapid development of ever-more-sophisticated multi-

timbral digital synthesizers and tone generators, along

with the overwhelming acceptance of digital sampling

which has literally changed the way we create and

listen to music. And all of which have gone hand-in-

hand with the desktop music revolution.

Most recently there has been the introduction of

breakthrough physical modeling synthesis technology,

which has been successfully applied to the accurate

reproduction of acoustic instrument sounds through

purely electronic means, as well as the creation of new

“hybrid-type” acoustic-oriented sounds.

The Making Of A Modern Classic

The classic analog synth sound is back with a vengeance and more popular than ever. Vintage analog synthesizers are hot

items, recirculating and finding their way into the arsenals of the world’s most innovative music makers, many of whom

weren’t even born when the voltage controlled synthesizer was coming of age more than a quarter of a century ago.

Enter the Yamaha AN1x Control Synthesizer—a modern classic in its own right—complete with the VCO, VCF, and VCA

blocks, or "modules" that give retro synths that famously fat, rich, warm sound, plus multiple knobs for controlling every nuance

of the sound, and even an on-board Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer for generating pattern loops at the press of a key.

What’s much more, however, is that the AN1x incorporates features that vintage synths could only dream about—like three on-

board programmable digital multi-effects units and a 3-band stereo EQ, a multiple controller-to-parameter assignment architecture,

a 4-track Free EG for “hand drawing” real-time knob position movements of up to four different tone generator parameters, plus

real-time morphing between two different sounds, and more—all of which can be customized for each of the 128 voices and

stored as individual voice data.

Enter Analog Physical

Modeling…

The classic analog synth never fell out of favor with the

world's most innovative musicians. That's because it

has a special punch, power, plus important elements of

interactivity that digital synths and samplers have

tended to lack by comparison.

And now, with the demand for that "classic analog

sound" due to the global popularity of techno, trance,

and other modern forms of dance music, it's hardly

surprising that Yamaha—a company consistently at the

very pinnacle of electronic musical instrument

technology—would react to that demand and create a

completely new performance-oriented "control

synthesizer" that takes the company's original

breakthroughs in physical modeling synthesis and uses

it to digitally "model" the analog sound-generating

components which gives voltage controlled synthesis its

unique character and virtually unlimited range of

sound.

And package it with a host of digital extras to bring

the technology full circle with a completeness and utility

never before possible.

In short, the AN1x is a logical—and timely—

development in the evolution of electronic musical

instrument history, based on the modern needs and

demands of the world’s cutting-edge musicians. And

once again, as is often the case with creations from

Yamaha, music history will never be the same.

All the tools are in the box. The rest is up to you….
