I think this is a typical Yamaha marketing decision. They release so much gear, but if you look at the gear itselve: no expansion possibilities, not even flash updates.. Take a look at Clavia for instance, they constantly update the Nord series (ok. they don't have a choice 'cause they don't have the r&d funds like yamaha :).. As for the AN1x being doomed, i recall the an1x being rated higher than (for instance) the jp8000 when it was released.. I don't mind though, i picked up my an1x 2 years ago for $500 :))

I don't know... maybe they were too early? Yamaha products hardly ever live longer than two years, or perhaps even less. So perhaps the AN1x was already 'doomed' before the market really cought on. I don't know.
