Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] AN1x vs. Access b

From: tspeer <tspeer@...>

I have a Nord (first version) and an AN1-x. They both sound great- I have'nt
played the Access - but the I have played the Virus- . I thought the Virus
felt kind of 'cheap'- the knobs/buttons etc.
I'm hopeful for Access to improve.
