Well, i bought one of the last C-stock AN1x in a little store here in
Germany in 2000. The AN1x came out 1997, so around three years seems
to be a normal life-cylce for Yamaha gear these days.
It happened to the FS1r (another great FM-synth by Yamaha), to the
SU700, to the EX5 series and to their Ax000 Sampler series. The only
product that doesn´t seem to get this way is the RM1x (seems to me).
I and i am sure a lot of other people would appreciate though, if
Yamaha would made the attempt for a new AN2x or AN1000x or something.
Still, congratulations to your purchase. Now you have a lot of
analogue power. If you don´t like the interface of the AN200 to
program sounds, do it on the AN1x and download them to the AN200 via
AN1xEdit.
