First off, is the An200 the only piece of gear you have
running thru your UNO? If you have 5 or 6 different pieces
of gear, chances are the synths at the end of the chain
aren't getting full ammounts of midi data because the signal
deteriorates for every piece of gear it passes through in a
chain.

Probly the best way to tell if your synths midi is working
is by connecting it to something else that sends and then
recieves midi data. If both sending an receiving work
properly in that case, its probly either the midi router or
the computer. So, if thats not the case, it might be
something as simple as making sure the drivers for your uno
are properly installed on your computer, so try reinstalling
it, and any updates that maudio may have released.

BTW, reinstalling updates from maudio should get your midi
up to speed and fix the problem. Also, try plugging you UNO
into a different USB port before you reinstall.

If you have another computer handy, try testing out the uno
with another piece of gear, just to make sure that that is
working.

Try asking somebody here. There are a few an200
users there, they will know what to do.

What was wrong with it? I am curious...

under mac os 9, maudio's "uno" midi device was not a
supported device... and under the an200 editor program i use
to control the synth, the OMS system setup would only detect
a modem line or a printer line... so i had to get a serial
midi cable from my music store and re- do the midi setup on
the actual an200.

Gotcha. Makes sence.

Using gear with a computer sequencer is definately to get
the best sound out of your music. I got off computers for
music because I was tired of looking at a screen and using a
mouse, but it takes much longer to do things now (less
flexibility).

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the
an200? How is the sequencer/drum sounds? I have become a bit
of a fan of yamaha gear with all the dx and tx synthesizers.
I am currently waiting for a courier to drop off an sy22 to
me today. <3 ebay

:D

two years ago, i ordered the an200 from musiciansfriend.com
at closeout price brand new, for $200 USD + (free
shipping)... so it was all in all a great deal for something
that can do a whole lot in a small machine.

now for drum sounds... i really want to be able to
manipulate them easier... i am happy with the drum sounds,
effects and all... the gate effect the an200 has is handy
when speeding the tempo up in a track and making things
sound easier instead of having the same sampled sound played
long and stretched out, you can cut off the end off the
sound (crisper)....

but the an200 isn't know for it's drum sounds... get it
because of the live tweakableness of the synth... i composed
ten to fifteen tracks for music school with the an200 and a
midi keyboard controller... and recorded all the knob
adjustments and all... was really pleased with the 3 vco and
various effects you can put on the patch. you get two "free
eg" control parameters that you can move back and forth so,
for instance, a lfo on channel 1 can be tweaked and the
portamento could be controlled on channel 2.

also... if only the an200 had a s/pdif or adat optical or a
better sound output range, rather than just a headphone out,
left & right(stereo) 1/4" outs... that would make it way
better.

Gotcha. Yeah, I wouldn't be getting one of these for the
drum sounds, but its always nice to have a machine that can
make a kick drum that allows you to envelope the filters and
pitch :)

Like I said earlier, I am really in the market for a dx200,
but I wouldn't mind the an200. When I am looking around on
synth sites, I get about 50/50 great/ok reviews, but its
always good to hear mention from people that you read from
more than once every half year or so.

UPS just arrived with my synth. I am really excited to try
out this synth that I just got. Its my first full keyboard
with midi out, and its a vector synthesizer, so I expect to
spend a couple days in front of it, just working things out
:)

And by working things out, I mean playing with it. A little
bit of foreplay, and then....
