It's a shame that such an interesting sounding machine only has 20
patches.
Most of my Yamaha machines are from around the AN1x era (an era when I
think they were making really interesting "deep" machines and not the
ROMPLERS that they do now), and it just intrigued me that there were
no presets on the AN1x compared to my EX5 and FS1R, which are full of
them. Of course I'd prefer all the ROM patches on those two to have
been over writable, but you can't have everything.
Cheers
Derek

20 user patches... Why keep it? It is a rare machine, it can do a lot
of things (FM, additive and phase distorsion synthesis, very complete
MIDI implementation) and the second hand price is nearly 0... Being a
1U rack it is not very bulky.
