an.factory is a cross platform Librarian for the Yamaha AN1x synthesizer, that allows you to organise your AN1x data from the comfort of your computer.
an.factory has been written by me, Derek Cook, and is available exclusively as a free download from www.xfactory-librarians.co.uk. The free version is fully functional apart from the save and export features (including MIDI export) and Librarian support are disabled. This allows you to evaluate the features of an.factory to see if you like it before buying it. If you wish to use an.factory and enable the save and export functions you will need to register an.factory and pay a shareware registration fee.
I am greatly interested in user feedback for shaping future versions of an.factory. Comments and bug reports on the current features of an.factory and requests for future features can be sent to support@xfactory-librarians.co.uk .
an.factory is programmed in Java, however, you as a user do not need to worry about that as the Java components required by an.factory are embedded in the application.
The application has been developed and tested for Java 17 on Mac OS X, and it is also tested on Windows 10 and Linux Mint
The screen shots you see in this manual have been taken with an.factory running upon OS X. The look and feel of the application will vary depending upon your target JRE and computer platform, so don't worry if an.factory looks slightly different upon your system.
