The an1x does analog type fm emulation there are no algo its just frequency modulation by envelope or lfo or another vco
Dx7 uses algo and these are setup as carriers and modulators the dx7 is additive and phase modulation
Where the an1x uses true fm like the analog synths it emulates namely the prophet 5

Subject: [AN1x] 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!
