The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

The AN200 uses the PLG150AN board for its sound generation. Therefore in
general the sound will not be as fat as the AN1x (due to lower poly and
scene count). 

However the PLG150AN does provide some additional oscillator waveforms
(including a very rich multi saw) and an additional VCO cross modulation
algorithm. These parameters can be used to produce richer voices than
can be created on AN1x. Also the AN200 uses XG effects, which are
different to those of the AN1x.

Hence which machine sounds fatter, really depends on specific patches
and the voice/effect programming!

Subject: [AN1x-list] Does AN200 sounds "fatter"?

Someone on sonicstate.com is saying that AN200 sounds fatter than 
AN1x. Does someone has both and can tell? IMO the only differences 
are the technical ones with the one more LFO, 5 polyphony and no 
scene morph for the AN200 (PLG150). But does it sound because of 
this "fatter"?
