Dave Smith designed the Prophet 5. He then went on to work at R&D at
Yamaha helping them design physical modeling. Then Yamaha decides to
build a physical modeled synth and guess what synth they decide to
model?
I just re-read Keyboard's review of the AN1x, comparing it quite
favorably to the Nord II and Roland's synth, noting it had more
features for substantially less money. They also compared the AN1X
favorably to the Prophet 5.
My main complaint about the AN1X is the EQ. It's always on, and the
presets boost the highes (and at times the bass)way too much. It's
not a big deal, but I find myself going through all the presets and
resetting the eq. I also find myself lowering the filter keytrack
value-the programmers really like to hype the highs.
