The morphing between two sounds is not so advanced on the AN200. If I
remember well, you can only morph between two sounds which have the same
basic settings (like waveform type, oscillator pitches, ...). On the
contrary, on the AN1X, you can morph between two completely different
sounds. And as said before, neither step sequencer nor arpegiator.

Now, if you want to use the groovebox functionnalities, it's quite
limited (but I think it's more to be considered as a synth rather than
as a groovebox). Mainly : only 3 rythm tracks, only patterns of 1
measure and smallest time division is quarter of a time.
