This instrument consists of eight main functional blocks: Controller, Motion Sequencer, Tone

Generator, Effects, Sequencer, Arpeggio, Envelope Follower, and A/D Input.

The tone generator block is equipped with a hybrid sound engine combining three synthesis

systems.

The AWM2 sound engine features waveforms containing sampled wave data you can assign to

each element, and then modify the sound by using Filters and EGs (envelope generators). Each

Normal Part uses up to 128 elements to generate a wide range of rich sounds that help you

create expressive sounds. Since the “raw” waveforms sampled from the actual acoustic

instruments have been processed to enable each note to be used for various music, this sound

engine produces the realistic sound of musical instruments such as piano and wind instruments,

for example. You can use this sound engine not just for reproducing realistic instrument sounds

but also for creating completely new sounds by using filters and the EG. For the Drum Part, you

can use up to 73 drum keys to assign the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the

keyboard to create a desired drum kit.

The Drum Part has a maximum of 73 drum keys you can use for creating desired drum kits by

assigning the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the keyboard.

The FM-X sound engine uses eight oscillators (Operators) to modulate the frequency of the

waves generated by each Operator to create rich harmonic overtones.

The Operators are grouped into two roles: Carrier and Modulator. The Modulators modulate the

next Operator while the Carriers generate the resulting sounds. The function in which the

Operator modulates itself is called “feedback.” The FM-X sound engine features pre-

programmed Algorithms that have 88 different patterns for connecting the Operators. With this

sound engine, you can use the parameters to control the harmonic overtones of the Operator

waves and apply the same high-quality filters, effects, and EQ available in the AWM2 sound

engine to create more complex sounds than possible with conventional FM sound engines.

The AN-X is a virtual analog sound engine that digitally reproduces the behavior of analog

synthesizers in great detail.

With their traditional and innovative features, the oscillators of this next-generation AN sound

engine provide more flexibility in modulation and wave-shaping functions so that you can create

a wide variety of sounds—from “real” vintage to edgy and extreme.

AN-X sound engine

Features three Oscillators and one Noise generator.

OSC3 modulates OSC1 and OSC2 (either with frequency modulation or ring modulation)

Each OSC controls the shape of the waves by using Pulse Width, OSC Self Sync, or Wave

Shaper.

You can set each OSC to output before or after Filter 1 and Filter 2.

The internal memory of this instrument holds the saved Performances, Live Sets, Songs, and

other settings.

This chart shows the data flow between the internal memory and the external device.

(Click or tap to enlarge the image.)

Contains the Preset Performances, Preset Arpeggios, Preset Audition Phrases, and other

settings.

You cannot overwrite the data in the Preset memory since it is read-only.

The Edit buffer is the work area for editing Performances, Live Sets, Songs, and other settings.

This work area allows both reading and writing, and the contents within this work area are

erased when the instrument is turned off.

The edited Performances and Motion Sequences should be saved to the User Memory before

selecting a different Performance or turning off the instrument.

(Other settings are saved automatically.)

The User memory has two areas: User and Library.

The User area holds the stored Performances and Motion Sequences, and other settings for the

entire instrument, such as Utility settings and other User data edited in the Edit buffer.

When a User Performance is edited, you can store it as a new Performance or overwrite the

existing Performance.

The Library area allows up to 16 library files (.Y2L) to be loaded from the USB flash drive. The

settings saved in the Library area cannot be edited. To edit the settings in the Library area, send

the data to the Edit buffer by selecting a Performance stored in the Library area or loading a

Motion Sequence from the Library area. After editing, the data will be saved to the User area.

The User memory is used for reading and writing, and the data within this area will be retained

after the instrument is turned off.

The Recall buffer and Compare buffer are areas used for temporarily saving the settings you

are editing.

The Recall buffer is used as a backup for the Edit buffer.

If you accidentally changed to a different Performance without first storing the setting, you can

use the Recall function to restore the temporarily saved settings from the Recall buffer to the

Edit buffer.

The Compare buffer is the area for keeping settings before making edits. By using the Compare

function, you can bring the settings temporarily saved in the Compare buffer to compare the

edited and unedited sounds.

The Category Search function allows you to search through Performances, Parts, Rhythm

Patterns, Arpeggios, and Waveforms to find ones you would like to use.

To search for a desired Performance, open the Performance screen, and press the

[CATEGORY] button to open the Performance Category Search screen.

NOTE

You can also select a Performance by placing the cursor on the Performance Name on the Home screen and

using the data dial, [INC/YES] button, and [DEC/NO] button.

1Press the [CATEGORY] button.

The Performance Category screen appears.

You can also open the Performance Category Search screen by selecting Category

Search from the context menu for the Performance Name.

NOTE

Select one from Main and Sub.

Select an attribute or combinations of attributes. Depending on the combination,

the filter uses the conditions AND or OR.

You can use the OR condition for categories by pressing the appropriate Category name

selection buttons.

You can also set the OR condition by tapping the category name while holding the [SHIFT]

button.

You can select a Sub category also by simultaneously holding down the [SHIFT] button and

pressing one of the Slot number and Category name selection buttons.
