Thank you, Jack Handy (RODGER) for enlightening me.
I'm sure I CAN play a 6 note chord on a 5 note synth- since you pointed out
my "own creative shortcomings" keep me from doing so (or was it my
"projection").
Sometimes it can be a relief sharing your observations about a product that
falls short of what you've come to expect from a company who have made
incredible tools- in an effort to gain knowledge and insight from others
(who are not arm chair psychologists) and provide feedback to said company.
Having spent years typing out hex code on an Ensoniq Mirage, Adding sample
silence to 8bit waveforms on an Amiga to loop the waves and get a digital
delay, Milking PWM sounds out of a CZ-101, and making EPS Wavetables to
mimic the PPG I could not afford, I have some idea how to work around
limitations, Yet I reserve the right to call technical boundaries when I see
them ( a rose is a rose by any other name ).
-OK... vent mode off (sorry for the rant Rodger - but you baited me too
well- no offense is meant).
It appears the Engine inside the AN200 is much more than what's on offer on
its' Spartan front panel (Exactly how much of the AN1x is actually in there
?).
- Even so- I believe $500 is still a bit steep. I think $300 would tempt me
(with software access to the engine).
