The AN1x is nearly 20 years old, but was probably in development 20 years ago, along with my EX5, and I still think those two synths along with the FS1r (and I'll sneak in my TG77/SY99 as well) represent Yamaha's high water mark in terms of innovation. Since the noughties all they have done is endless rehashes of the Motif which does not appeal to me.
The EX5 (I've got a silver one) is nice, but it has some serious issues. Beautiful, but flawed.
