Soon to be has-been, I guess. The NL3 replaces the AN1x in my setup.
Know anyone looking for a mint AN1x with several banks of commercial

I already miss the ribbon controller on the AN1x.

If it were me I'd go for the Virus C first (get the NL3 after that,
LOL!). I think the Virus C offers a broader sound pallet and more
features. Plus Access is one of the best in the industry at
supporting their products.

The control differences are mostly to support the new features of
the NL3.

Uh-oh! He got one of those too? No wonder I never hear from him any
more.

Yep.... He programmed a good number of the presets on the original
Evolver. Also, you should check out this site for some really wild
Evolver demos -
