The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi there everyone,
I've got to say something here just to make a logical point,
When Pink floyd recorded their:
"Wish you were here" Album
there was NO Digital recording devices 
to make a pure 24 track digital !!!
Also, you can hear the "Hiss" of the Studer 24 track
Analog they used and mixed it to the 2 track "Tube" studer.
I've got a friend that was an engineer in 
England in those days - 70's and he also told me
that there was no other than 3M 24 track digital machine 
that came out late in the 70's (1979) 
and even the 3M didn't have a "real" digital all thru it.
God, you guys make me feel so old when you say
"waaaaaaaaay back " !
Now, what about the AN1X ?
Is anybody here using it creativly ?

Leo
