I too tried out the AN200 at Guitar Center (they had one on display).
I was not impressed.
Only 5 Voices ??? Pu-Leeease.
The sound parameters were as weak as a TB-303.
In summary- Take an AN1x, remove half the polyphony, take out 85% of the
modulation ability, add nice rubbery knobs and a simple effects section- and
make it go "Bum-tisss-Bum-tisss-Bum-tisss-.." in the demo sequence.
Hell- Why didn't they just add more flashing lights and an
"Beam-control"- the kids would come running...
(I hope the DX module is better- Where is it ????)
