The multisaw mode is available in other modes also, but yes there was some
limitation which I cannot recall at the moment. And yes, I agree with you
AN200 is very good instrument, but the lack of possibility to operate all
the parameters directly is little bit annoying. I think that you should
stick with your An1x, An200 is not replacement for it, but An200 is vey
nice synth too. If there would have been possibility to buy An1x instead of
An200, I would had bought An1x... but you don't see them too often on second
hand market these days. The one big positive thing with An200 compared to
it's bigger brother is that An200 is much easier to carry with you. ;-D

Cheers,
TimoS
