Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Please forgive me if this topic has been discussed previously but I
scanned the archives and found few references.

I was reading about the PLG150-AN at XG Factory and noticed the
following statement:

"There was always something about the Prophet 5 that made it sound
wonderful. Maybe it was the filters, maybe the oscillators, and maybe
the overall design. Whatever it was, it inspired Yamaha to develop
the PLG150ANX, based around our acclaimed AN1x synth technology, but
revoiced and re-tweaked to give you as close as we can get to the
original sound of what many people call the best analogue synth ever
made."

Can someone explain the difference between these two products in
terms of overall sound quality? Does the PLG150-AN really sound all
that different than the AN1x?

Thanks,
