Bjorn,
>It's just such a damn shame that the AN1X is monotimbral since I (and most you guys, I believe) love its sound :-( Pity...
Maybe I'm showing my age, but I never expected the AN1x to be multitimbral. The Minimoog was never multitimbral, and is not so in its new incarnation. The Prophet-5 wasn't multitimbral either, or the ARP Odyssey , the VCS-3, the '303, or any of a number of other synths that I could name. For that matter, neither is a Steinway piano, a Hammond organ, a Mellotron, a Selmer tenor sax, or a Fender Stratocaster.
I bought the AN1x to do one thing: be a great analog synth clone, with warm, fat sounds. I'm not disappointed in that respect. I don't tend to use jack-of-all-trades keyboards a lot, because they tend toward master-of-none, too.
Just my $.02 (US) ...
Regards,
-BW
