Welcome to the club !
you'll meet interesting and sometimes funny people, mostly music and 
electronics enthusiasts. Have a look at :

for example, to see what you can do with your AN1x. OK, Eppie uses other 
instruments too, but not a lot, no computer, only a hardware sequencer 
and a multitrack recorder to produce his impressive reincarnations of  
Tangerine Dream.
My own gear : AN1x (of course), Casio CZ and Kawa\ufffd K1 synths, Red Sound* 
"Elevata" and Evolution* EVS1 expanders plus an ART multi effect rack. 
All purchased second hand for quite nothing : they were too old to be 
expensive and not enough to be collector items. My musical influences 
for keyboards : progressive rock,  the early synth groups like Tangerine 
Dream, Kraftwerk .... and, despite i'm french, not J.M. Jarre ! OK, J.M. 
Jarre is not a bad musician at all, but too obviously commercial for my 
taste; in the same kind i rather like Vangelis.
Cheers

* 2 british small companies, very inventive but now out of the synth 
business. Today Evolution is only an entry level  MIDI master keyboards 
manufacturer and Red Sound produces only DJ equipment.
