Well, i bought one of the last C-stock AN1x in a little store here in 
Germany in 2000. The AN1x came out 1997, so around three years seems 
to be a normal life-cylce for Yamaha gear these days. 

It happened to the FS1r (another great FM-synth by Yamaha), to the 
SU700, to the EX5 series and to their Ax000 Sampler series. The only 
product that doesn´t seem to get this way is the RM1x (seems to me).

I and i am sure a lot of other people would appreciate though, if 
Yamaha would made the attempt for a new AN2x or AN1000x or something. 
Still, congratulations to your purchase. Now you have a lot of 
analogue power. If you don´t like the interface of the AN200 to 
program sounds, do it on the AN1x and download them to the AN200 via 
AN1xEdit.
