The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

The an1x is a cheap 2nd hand buy, it's quite a good synth and has numerous
features, the ones that stand out are Scene morph and the sequenced
controllers.  It sounds pretty good too.

I wouldn't buy this as my only synth.

I'd check out,

Nord Lead (Good Hard Leads and Bass)
Waldorf Q, Micro Q (Lots of variety, lots of possibilities, has a colder
techno edge to it)
Access Virus (A good all rounder, capable of a lot)
Novation Nova or Supernova. (Good Generic synth, sounds very lush, this with
a Nord or Waldorf would cover your VA angle)

For drum and bass, a sampler is probably the most important bit of kit,
either soft or hard.  A lot of producers user the EMU's for the Z-plane
filters, to get that rasping bass effect.

I'd forget the MS2000 for drum and bass, far too gentle.  The An1x is a
better synth than an MS2000.


Cheers


Scott
