I would be very suprised (though pleasantly so) if you managed to get a
digeridoo from an AN1x, or any woodwind from any (virtual) analogue synth.

I'm not the expert on physical accoustic modelling, but it is possible with
a modular analogue synthesiser (and the Nord Modular, of course). It comes
down to feeding back the signal, via a delay, into the oscillator (or so I
believe, I could be mistaken).

Having said that, it's very difficult to get something recognisable from it.
In that case, perhaps a modelling synth from Yamaha or Korg, or a modelling
software synth would be the answer.
