I have a PLG150AN (and DX) plugged into my S80. AN board is
basically half an AN1X; only 1 scene, 5 note poly. You can morph
between patches in user bank (128) and preset board voices (256).
AN1X patches transfer just fine, except AN board is fixed at scene 1.
AN board has a few differences. Osc1 has a multisaw wave that can be
detuned from itself and a mix wave. Tri wave on osc2 (don't know if
these are on AX1X). Osc2 has a cross modulation function that can
sound bizarre. PLG FX are limited to 3band EQ and amp sim, but you
can use FX from your motif to compensate. Can't do layers and splits
with just 1 AN board (but you could plug 2 of them into your Motif,
or do layers/splits with Motif voices). I find the PLG editor easier
to use than AN editor. A nice little board for $240. IMO the best of
the PLG series. BTW, pass on the DX board unless you really like DX-7
presets and weird metallic spitting
noises :)
