Hm, i disagree. The synthesis engine in all XG-tone modules is
different towards the AN1x, because the basis on XG-modules are
samples. On the AN1x it´s just a handfull of simple waveforms (sinus,
square etc.).
Or would you compare a Mack truck with a Ferrari and say that the
Ferrari has a superior engine, because the truck can´t run 190Mph?

Interesting, i didn´t know that (and never tried). But the EX5 cost
also twice and more as much as the AN1x...

Oh ok, i´ll try. Thank you.
