I agree they aren't Professional units. probably not even semi-professional. but what they do is good, and fun for the price. I feel we need to stop comparing these little boxes to real studio synthesizers. these are groove tools, that can be used as low budget synths in the studio. The quality is good for the price, and so are the features. untill one of mine breaks I will stand by them.. even though they cant match my Korg MS2000 sound wise any day. They have a unique crusty character. that sets them apart, and its nice.

I don't think it's entirely realistic to expect a 24 bit output on a 16
bit instrument. As for sound quality, that's probably more down to the
quality of the analogue electronics. After all, the xx200 series are
relatively inexpensive, and superior sound quality was probably not a
design requirement.

Having said that, both my AN1x and EX5S sound extremely clean, whereas
the latter should have better components. But if you want professional
results (as in regards to sound quality), you should buy a professional
unit with the professional price tag that goes hand in hand with it.
