[. . . ] AN200 Editor Manual Important Notices The AN200 Editor is a comprehensive editing software program specially designed for the AN200 Desktop Control Synthesizer -- providing an easy, intuitive way to edit and create your own original Patterns for the AN200. IMPORTANT: · Do not use any of the panel controls on the AN200 while editing the Patterns with the AN200 Editor, since this may inadvertently change the settings of the AN200.

[. . . ] For negative values, the relationship is inverse: a softer key touch results in a higher volume. A setting of "0" results in no change in volume by playing strength. To set this, click the VELOCITY button and highlight the desired value in the pop-up chart. When a value other than "0" is set, the VELOCITY lamp lights. · VOLUME Range: 0 . . . 127 The VOLUME setting determines the overall output level from the VCA before the signal passes to the Effect block. AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) Parameters The AEG parameters allow you to shape the sound of the AN200 pattern. In other words, it lets you set how the level of the pattern changes over time. · AEG ATTACK (Amplitude EG Attack Time) Range: 0 . . . 127 This determines the Attack Time of the AEG, or how long it takes for the sound to reach full volume when a note is played. Higher values produce a longer Attack time. (See illustration below. ) · AEG DECAY (Amplitude EG Decay Time) Range: 0 . . . 127 This determines the Decay Time of the EG, or how rapidly the sound dies out (or goes down to the Sustain Level) as a note is held. Higher values produce a longer Decay time. (See illustration below. ) · AEG SUSTAIN (Amplitude EG Sustain Level) Range: 0 . . . 127 This determines the level of sustain of the AEG, which is the level at which the volume will be maintained as long as the key is held. Higher values increase the Sustain level. (See illustration below. ) 35 Parameters / AN200 Editor Main Window · AEG RELEASE (Amplitude EG Release Time) Range: 0 . . . 127 This determines the Release Time of the AEG, or how long the sound sustains after a note is released. Higher values increase the Release time. (See illustration below. ) DIST (Distortion) / EQ Block The Distortion and EQ parameters give you further sonic control over the AN200 pattern, letting you apply and adjust distortion, and make detailed equalization settings. · DIST / EQ DETAIL Page · DIST DRIVE (Distortion Drive) Range: 0 . . . 100 This determines the amount of distortion "drive" for the guitar amplifier simulation effect block. The higher the value, the greater the degree of distortion in the sound. · DIST DRY/WET (Distortion Dry/Wet Balance) Range: D63>W . . . D<63 This determines the level balance of the unprocessed (dry) original sound of the pattern, and the distortion processed (wet) sound. A setting of D=W results in an equal balance of dry and wet sound. [. . . ] (See Initial Pattern Default Settings. ) This function allows you to reset all the parameters of the selected pattern to the factory initial pattern with default values. This gives you a blank slate from which you can create your own pattern. · This operation erases all previous patterns in the Destination box and replaces them with identical initialized patterns. · OK Click this to actually execute any of the Librarian operations and exit from the Librarian box. · Cancel Click this to exit the Librarian box without executing any of the Librarian operations. 66 Setup Menus When the AN200 Editor is active and selected, the following functions appear in the Setup menu: · · · · AN200 Editor Setup AN200 Display Option Transmit AN200 Bulk Dump Data Receive AN200 Bulk Dump Data AN200 Editor Setup This window lets you make a variety of basic and detailed settings for the AN200 Editor. These are contained in two tabs: MIDI and Others. · "AN200 Editor Setup" can also be selected from the toolbar. MIDI Tab · MIDI CH (Channel) Range: 1 . . . 16 This determines which MIDI channel is used for sending AN200 Editor data. [. . . ]
