Dear Ed,

If you like me want to minimize the rig to only two synths, in my case a
Nord Electro and the AN1x, you sometimes have to compromise on authenticity.
The Electro is fairly authentic regarding the basic keyboard sounds like
organ, rhodes and clav, and the AN1x is really great at analog stuff.
But sometimes there is a need for something else but I don't want to
haul a sampler setup to every gig for just a few tunes. (Been there,
done that)
If I with the AN1x can produce a sound that ∗feels∗ like a Melotrone
Flute even if it's not authentic, I'm satisfied.
And I'm sure others on the list share my opinion and is thankful for
this addition to the sound archive.

regards, Magnus
