The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hey, Chris

You've done much better than me: I've gotten my wife away from an
awful taste in music when I first met her to listening to the decent
stuff, but she still doesn't know her rhodes from her wurlies or her
Moogs from her arps!

Strangely enough for a synth of its era, the AN1x has no preset banks,
just 128 user patches.

Cheers 
Derek
