Thanks for the reply - I haven't found the right sound yet, but am
trying to fiddle with the downloaded sounds from the UK site - This
serves two purposes, it helps me find the right sound, while it helps
me get better with the editor and the general programming of the
synth.

MY band (rock/blues cover band) loves the fuller sound the An
produces as opposed to some of the other sampled rack units I had
been using. We don't use a lot of synth in our material, but some
newer stuff is allowing me a few lead lines and mice pads.

To the group in general.....

What are some of your favorite live performance sounds - realizing we
all ahve different genres, etc.

Any special setups for the assignable control knobs, e.g., filter
sweeps, etc for live performance.

Thanks again and sorry for any dumb questions...!
