Subject: AN1x vs. Access b

From: jondl <jondl@...>
Date: 2000-04-07

I got to check out an Access b today for the first time. Very nice
sounding. Unfortunately, the OS was whacked out and none of the front
panel controls were working?! Aaargh! All I could do was select presets
:-( Neither me nor two sales people (one of whom I know from many
years) could get the knobs to affect any change.

Not that I'm going to buy one any time soon but I was wondering if my
first impression was in-line with others. To my ears, the Access
sounded more like a Nord - only better - than an AN1x. The AN1x sounds
warmer to me but not as bright (maybe "crisp" is the word I'm looking
for?) Maybe its just the difference between the DAC's...

Anybody else heard one / own one?

Regards,
Jon
