A common and perfectly reasonable statement. But this is one
reason I like my AN1x so much - the [ASSIGN] Knobs can
reprogrammed easily to control other sound modules or VSTi's.
Alternately, you can easily set-up most sequencing
environments with templates to remap incoming MIDI CCs to
your VSTi's. This is typically a one time effort so for me it
minimizes - practically eliminates - the issue altogether. But
again, this entirely a matter of personal preference and is not a
right or wrong arguement.

Yes, you could take thinks a step further then the AN1x with the
excellent Peavey PC1600X MIDI Controller (or something
equivalent) and reallly go to town! I would LOVE to have one
those!!!

Great choices on the 2nd hand market :-) Watch out for
Wavestations and original K5s with burntout or fading backlight
displays.TG77/SY99s were great synths and there is loads of
online Kurzweil support.
