That's what I turned out with. But yeterday I must have overlooked
something. Leaving this one octave it went crazy. Just gave it a try
again and 32 was PERFECT. Thanx.

Best I ever had was a Prophet 2002, only LPF though. But I like this
kinda plastic touch of the AN-Filter when it oscillates...

That, Rob, is exactly it. I love this synth. As I mentioned before
listening to VA-demos randomly; again and again it was the AN1x
drawing my attention. To my ears it's more aggressive than any Waldorf
(which for other reasons I like alot)or others. Dave Smiths evolver
may challenge the mean blue machine...But that's another cup of tea.
Thanx
