The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I agree with Paul : OK the front panel of the AN1x is less user-friendly 
than a lot of V.A. synths, think Clavia or Novation. But the keyboard is 
very good, 5 octaves, reliable and you have the touch pad for "space 
effects" live. And the AN200 is more or less 1/2 AN1x ...
But you can try with a MIDI keyboard - controller full of knobs to your 
taste if each knob or push button is user programmable : see the MIDI 
implementation chart of the AN200.
Cheers.
