The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I have the AN200 (couldn't hold out for the AN1X), but I'm still 
quite happy.

I've been playing with this toy almost every day and I have found 
lots of great sounds just by tweaking the knobs (haven't installed 
the software yet).

I'm very heavy into prog rock (think Keith Emerson) and that is my 
primary target for sound creation.  So far the AN200 has not 
dissapointed me (and remember, I still haven't used the software 
yet!).

Here's the thing, I know that this unit was marketed 
toward "Trance/Hip Hop/Dance" musicians.

So, am I the only one here putting this thing to uses "other" than 
those it was designed for?

Also, I am completely ignoring the sequencing and drum machine 
abilities of this device.  I don't have a use for either (at least 
not in the form that they are presented in on the AN200).  

I would love to hear what other prog rockers have to say!
