Okay, okay don't take too much gratification in that. We ALL
KNOW how easy it would be to fall off the wagon. After all "one
little soft synth neve hurt anybody" ;-) I love my new ES1, BTW :-P
I found a cool little patch randmoizer on Swiftkick.com that
actually produces decent results!

(from what I could tell in the lousy store environment), but it sure
seemed fun to work with. So, should I replace my CS1x or AN1x
with it? I really don't have room for another set of keys after all.
I'm not convinced at this point.....

You should go back shortly after opening time before the store is
flooded with customers. You can usually get a good listen in.
And I agree - the interface to the OB12 is VERY nice and I kind of
liked the sound too. What store is having the online blowout on
the OB12? Sam Ash? Musicians Friend? zZounds?

Since you don't ∗really∗ get into the AN1x I can understand
parting with it - finding a buyer shouldn't be too hard. I've always
thought the CS1x is a fun little keyboard but those sounds have
been rehashed how many times in more recent, better sounding
Yamaha gear? Get rid of both and find a CS6x Rackmount on
blowout with a PLG150AN card AND an OB12.Ha!

It not a habit. Medical Science has proven gearlust to be
genetically coded in our DNA. That's MY story and I'm sticking to
it...
