Wasn't me. :) (But that's been covered already.)

The way I see it, it would be a better option to use a different
sample, then.
There really isn't much difference between synths like the AN1x
and the A-series samplers. The oscillators differ - and that's it.
Both rely on the substractive synthesis method, which basically
means they both use filters to make the sound interesting.
