The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello everyone.
I just purchased the PLG-AN board for my sw1000xg card, and I have to 
say it's very impressive. I don't really understand it yet, but I'm 
working on it :).
What I want to know is if anyone out there has a An1x/PlG-an board 
and a Ms2000(r), or has exp with both.
I had a chance to play around with the ms2000r and walked away 
wanting one very badly awhile back. I haven't had much time to play 
with the AN board yet, so I really don't know how they compare.

Will they compliment each other, or will the PLG-an board do pretty 
much what the Ms2000 can do?

I want a unit with a Vocoder and a Input for filtering my Bass and 
Guitar. The Ms2000 has it but not the An1x. I have looked into the 
Waldorf MicroQ, but haven't had hands on exp with it yet.

Also, quick newbie question:
How do you get the PLG-AN to work inside Cakewalk 9. Any help will be 
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
