The original company failed and has been bought by another..."corporate
adventures", don't mind. You're right Fabio.
One of Rick Wakeman's workhorses is a GEM Pro Mega, obviously he does
not matter if it is made here or there, even by a company synonym of
"cheap electronic organs". There is a lot of legends and mythology about
the early instruments and the companies that made them....
> anyway I think they're different enough sonically...
Right. Sometimes it remembers me my Red Sound Elevata (another synth
killed by the reviews critics....). The AN1x was designed having the
Prophet 5 in mind, some sounds are very close. A friend of mine had "the
real thing" a lot of years ago.... not very reliable too, unless you
have the last issue.
> I think they can complement each other very well in the end...
Yes. Because any instrument, even electronic, has its own limitations
(despite the claims of their manufacturers..) a good keyboard player has
to mix different sound textures from different synths into its own sounds.
