That's interesting. A friend of mine commented that the AN1x sounds
really analogue. As a reference, this guy has some 25 synths, most
of them analogue. Among them is a Yamaha CS60, pretty big and pretty
analogue. This, to indicate that he knows what he's talking about.

Apart from the fact that there are other types of music than dance/
trance/club, and that it's indeed possible to use (virtual) analogue
synths for those kinds of music, the CS2x doesn't strike me as
being particulary superior to the AN1x, especially since you call
the AN1x a 'plastic toy': the CS2x has a Mickey Mouse keyboard,
and exactly the same case.

I agree with Mango that this better be a 'troll' (flame bait), other-
wise we might come to think that you don't really know what you're
talking about... :)
