The problem is...once you heard a real analog synth, like the Alesis
Andromeda...VA won´t do it for you anymore, at least not only. I hope
the ION has, like Clavia synths, enough character to stand for itself
and against analog synths, but i discovered that the way to go for me
is more analogue. But don´t worry...i am not going to sell the
AN1x...it´s still my baby!

Whoa! What a price difference! Here in Germany they ask 1100Euro for
it!
