Well, that is my understanding of the machine. It's just a bunch of
digital circuitry, hooked up in such a way that it has a rather true
analog feel to it. I'm no real expert :) Only experimenting with the
thing as I try to learn it.
Virtual analog yes. All sounds are created digitally. But it is a real
synth as anolog synths go. It has the usual VCO/VCF/VCO line. So it's
not sample based at all. It is just like those software synths (vst/au).
All the filters, oscillators and opamp stuff is 'emulated'. Only
difference is that with the AN1x the emulation is done with integrated
circuits instead of software. Ah well, maybe I'm just totally wrong and
someone here will kick me and tell me how it really is. (It's not the
first time for me to find out I've had my ideas completely wrong)

aargh, but what if you suddenly find some use for the x-z action of the
