If you're just starting out playing drum and bass, I'd recommend
software. You need a computer anyway to record. Get Acid, Rebirth,
and Cool Edit Pro.
Once you've got those figured out and you decide you need a screaming
analog synthesizer for weird noise madness, sonic mayhem, and
youthful indiscretions, get the AN1x. She's not an all in one
instrument. She is a specialized instrument. She does one thing
really well.
