Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Well, i haven´t checked yet, but did we already have a "feature-
wishlist" for a new AN1x? I don´t know if it might be usefull,
because it doesn´t seem that Yamaha will ever going to produce a new
one, but still i really would like to see what other ppl. think.

My wishlist would include:
- one or two more oscillators,
- something like the "wavetable"function of the Virus or Q (even the
old C64 Soundchip SID has wavetable...;) )
- maybe more operators for FM (yes a FM/VA hybrid would be cool, if
technically possible)
- Vocoder (yesyesyes Audio-In, that´s why i was thinking about
getting a JP8080 first...imagine you run your AN1x through it :)))
- a rackversion of the (new)AN1x
- keep the step-sequencer with a bit more advanced controls (up to 64
steps, which can also rotate)
- more voices (at least four, instead of two)
- No more CS1x/2x cases...better CS6x or CS6r

What do you think? Is that possible? Of course not for $500 but for
$1200 it should be possible...
