Thats no problem because dual mode can be used. In this mode AN1X has 4 OSC
and because Mini is monophonic no problems with polyphonie. And as far as I
know the third MOOG OSC was most time used as L(H)FO. Perhaps its really
the way of Wave Combinations and the way to play ist. Only good player could
efford ist. For me it was too expensive and I used Cs 15, Cs 5, Cs1 and
later Arp Odyssey .

Thank you for the videos. Tihis Mindphase String is nice. I now started to
emulate the Solina String, because i have an EMU template. I used the Free
EG as monophonic EG. I think it had two EG's.
The ARP OMNI had another Sound. Heres an youtube test. I will use it for
programming :

Ok its close to the solina but Modulation is different (I own scematics of
both)
It sounds more like an Hohner String Melody II.The Hohner had variabel
Modulations.

> If it's not one it sounds very close to a Mini

I think "Anyones daughter" used only ARP OMNI, Hammomd and Minimoog on
stage.
