Subject: Newbie-question. Sorry...

Hello!

From what I've gathered the AN1x does have some FM-capabilities. What does that mean, really? Can it do what a DX7 does, for instance? Of course I don't expect it to sound just like a DX7 if that is the case, but can it do the same kind of synthesis? Would a DX7 be redundant unless one is particularly fond of the character of the DX7?

(And yes, I tried Google, but that didn't help).

I realize this might be a stupid question, but I know next to nothing about FM-synthesis. I'm getting a AN1x any day now, but I'm also curious about FM-programming, as a complement to subtractive (virtual) analog. Maybe get an old DX/TX as well? Any thoughts?

Merry Christmas to you all!
