AN200

Yamaha AN200

Hello!

Finally I made panel for my Yamaha AN200.

What can it do:

  • Send / receive almost all the parameters via SysEx / MIDI CC messages
  • Manipulate Free EG values
  • Save / Load MIDI Bulk SysEx dump files to / from AN200
  • Save / Load single programs  as *.syx files
  • JayB patch bank embed by default (http://jaybmusic.net)
  • Receiving MIDI bulk dumps directly from device

To make AN200 tweaking more enjoyable – that’s what this panel is created for!

Theoretically, this panel is also compatible with the PLG150-AN card, but it has not been tested, so that’s not sure.

Thanks to the guys Possemo, dnaldoog and goodweather for the tips and tricks!

PS: since this panel is oriented only on a synth part of the device, there are no controls related to the stepsequencer / drum parts.

PPS: it’s still beta, so errors are possible. Please, leave a comment if you are experiencing any problems.

Future plans:

  • Code stabilization
  • Improve AN1X compatibility

Changes v 0.6  
  • Applied dnaldoog”s workaround, fixing startup alert and popup windows odd behaviour
  • Receiving MIDI bulk dumps directly from device now possible
    • After receiving bulk dump you can either save it directly to HDD or load data into panel
  • Settings menu implemented:
    • Added “Send panel data after loading” option
  • Added “Portamento mode” controller
  • Support processing AN1X Edit “MidiEx” bulk dumps
  • Fixed bug in exported VST version, which causes wrong preset name after loading state
  • Fixed Freehand tool right-to-left drawing – there was some inaccuracies which causes broken lines
  • Some minor fixes and slight code review
Changes v 0.7:  
  • Changed true/false to 1/0 values for “panel loaded” variables
  • Save single program to disk writes current panel state data into preset instead of original preset data
  • Changed some bytes in a sysex formulas – sometimes device ID was “11”, sometimes “10”
  • Added new option – “Send panel data after preset changed” (it was always set to “ON” before)
  • Setting some parameters as not exported to VST host since there is no reason to automate them
Changes v 0.8  
  • New style controls
  • Removed FreeEG Keytracking knob because it is not used anywhere
  • Adjusted some parameters to fit ImageSlider requirements (hope there was nothing broken during this process…) 
 

Current version: 0.9 from 22.09.2019 

Latest changes:

  • Rewritten bulk dump processing procedure – now it can directly process *.AN2 files
  • AN1X (very limited) experimental support – controls was transferred from experimental panel
  • Fixed some value inconsistencies 
Before you start: this panel using extended instructions set, so you need to turn on extended midi control change mode on your device.   Note for AN1X users: to show available AN1X controls, go to Settings -> Set AN1X compatibility mode, then Settings -> Show AN1X-specific controls.   P. S.: since I had to sell my AN200, further development is halted.
