Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Anyone else going for "Progressive Rock" sounds?

From: Linda Dachtyl <lindaleed@...>
Date: 2001-10-26

I use all my keyboards primarily for progressive rock sounds.

Do some new age type stuff too and jazz piano and real Hammond.

I have found the moog type sounds to be incredible. Up to this time, the
only thing I would use if not a real Mini-Moog was a Kawai K-3 that I spent
hours (days actually) programming and tweaking. The AN1X is so good at this,
I wonder if I still need the K3. Not planning on selling it though....so
don't ask;-)!

I would like to add that some nice mellotron string sounds can be made with
the CS2X (even though this is OT concerning this particular list...LOL!)

Linda
