Subject: AN1X vs other virtual analogs; SoundDiver

Glad to finally see an AN1X list with some traffic!!

Here's an ice breaker for you. I picked up my AN1X cheap
during the blowout. I also have a JP8000. Although I've
got a ton of patches and software that supports the AN1X,
and almost nothing for the JP, I always find myself going
back to the JP because a) the sound just seems richer and
b) the controls on the AN1X drive me crazy! Having said
that, I use the AN1X on a lot of tracks, but almost never
as the lead. What do other people think, and what sort
of sounds do they find the AN1X best for?

Perhaps we should also start putting together a SoundDiver
library file of all the available patches for the AN1X? The
AN1XEdit program is quite good but from memory it is
limited to 128 patches per file. Who else is using SoundDiver?
