Yamaha AN200 Desktop Control Synthesizer: Echoes From the Past
—DSP-based Modeling Captures the Sound and Feel of Analog—
ANAHEIM, CA—The booming electronic dance music market and its multi-textural palette have created a renewed interest in analog-style sounds among both professionals and novices. Yamaha Corporation of America, Pro Audio & Combo Division, Digital Musical Instruments, responds with the AN200 Desktop Control Synthesizer at Winter NAMM 2001.

AN200 Desktop Control Synthesizer
Capturing the sound and feel of an analog synthesizer through DSP-based modeling of analog circuitry, the AN200 features the dynamic, punchy sounds that have become staple building blocks of Ambient, Trance, Techno and Dance music genres. An intuitive, analog-style real-time interface gives users hands-on control over every sound parameter and the 16-step sequencer. The AN200 will begin delivery in the first quarter of 2001.
"The AN200 will satisfy anyone who wants to use analog sounds to embellish their productions," states Athan Billias, marketing manager, Digital Musical Instruments. "The potential for creating both 'old school' and totally unique sounds is all there, in one box."
Yamaha's DSP-based physical modeling enables the AN200 to re-create vintage analog characteristics—such as powerful filters and resonance, low frequency oscillators, ring modulation and oscillator synchronization—and produce arpeggiated patterns, phat bass sounds and computer noises.
A 16-note Step Sequencer (with 1 AN part and 3 rhythm parts per pattern) resembles the manual functions of pattern sequencers found in early analog synthesizers. In addition to 5-note polyphony and 256 preset patterns, the AN200 enables the user to program up to 128 voices and offers four effects: Chorus, Delay, Flanger and Phaser. The 4-track per pattern "Free EG" allows the movement of a parameter's knob, synched with b.p.m., to be recorded and played back. Other features include two-scene-per-pattern scene memory, two 1/4-inch phone plug outputs, MIDI in/out, internal/external MIDI clock and bundled voice editor software for Mac and PC platforms.
"The AN200 has all of the immediacy of analog-style interfaces with the consistency and sound quality of digital," adds Avery Burdette, product manager, Digital Musical Instruments. "All the tools are available at the touch of a knob."
