Great. :)

Is this the first piece of gear you have every used? Let me give you one
example that really pissed me off, and I even asked here and got to
response, but that's okay...
Lets pretend I just did a complete reset. I copy Epic House, section D to
style U01, section A. Now, I make a copy of section A to section B. I want
to mess with section B, but damnit, it changes A too. How useful is that?
Could you imagine on a PC if you copied a document from one folder to
another, then modified the one you just made a COPY of, but it made the same
changes to the ORIGINAL because it was only "pointing" to the file. This
seems really dumb to me, and like I said, maybe all music stuff works this
way. I am coming into this thinking copy means copy, not point.

That'd be sweet. And believe me, there are others on this list like me.
They got the RM1x instead of a 505, etc. to make music. I don't care about
selling my music - it was supposed to be fun just making it. :) I got the
AN1x because I wanted keyboard velocity for the RM1x. While I do seem to
"get" the AN1x, little things piss me off. Like the RM1x resetting the
voice of the AN1x when I press record. But, someone did explain the voice
can't be a phrase on the AN1x or it will get reset. Well, why? Both of
these pieces are Yamaha, I just figured they'd play nicely together. I like
the phrase option on the AN1x and would like to use it with the RM1x, but I
guess I can't unless I want to move the freaking knob around or enter #s to
go back to the voice I had all setup.
It's stuff like this that made me just put both in a corner in my computer
room until I had more time to try and learn the fundamentals before trying
to actually creating something fabulous. :)
A real simple step by step dance track would be great, and would probably
teach me 100x more than the manual did. I do understand almost everything
I've read in the manual, but most of what is aggravating isn't mentioned in
the manual....
And John, if you're reading this - I am serious. I have a DJ friend coming
down for a week at the end of Sept. for a week. If together we can't get
these to do something, then they are going on Ebay and I'll go buy a Sega
Dreamcast and play games. LOL
Mike
