Oh, yeah. You know - my main gripe about it - sloppy feel, keys bottom out
with a bang. When I've got a real lead to play I MIDI control the AN with
my 01/W. It's a little clumsy having the left hand on the ribbon/wheels of
the one and the right on the keys of the other... but it works.

Hmm. I'd first ask (as an interviewer) if you thought the sounds were close
enough to the original. Then I'd ask if you thought anything else came
close enough to a minimoog's sound that was priced THOUSANDS of dollars
less. ;-)
