Thats no problem because dual mode can be used. In this mode AN1X has 4 OSC 
and because Mini is monophonic no problems with polyphonie. And as far as I 
know the third MOOG OSC was most time used as  L(H)FO. Perhaps its really 
the way of Wave Combinations and the way to play ist. Only good player could 
efford ist. For me it was too expensive and I used Cs 15, Cs 5, Cs1 and 
later Arp Odyssey .

Thank you for the videos. Tihis Mindphase String is nice. I now started to 
emulate the Solina String, because i have an EMU template. I used the Free 
EG as monophonic EG. I think it had two EG's.
The ARP OMNI had another Sound. Heres an youtube test. I will use it for 
programming  :

Ok its close to the solina but Modulation is different (I own scematics of 
both)
It sounds more like  an Hohner String Melody II.The Hohner had variabel 
Modulations.

> If it's not one it sounds very close to a Mini

I think "Anyones daughter" used only ARP OMNI, Hammomd and Minimoog on 
stage.

Cheers
