Hello blackwoodebo !
first : sorry for my english language...i'm french...
second : your questions !
I've baught a yamaha AN1x yesterday !! and i have an MS2000R (rack version) also since 6 month !
here is my opinion :
prices : MS2000 : 1000euros, MS2000R : 760euros, AN1x : 500-600 euros.
specs : take a look at www.vintagesynth.com or www.synthzone.com for a pertinent review of the capabilities, specifications and demos about this gear... and more links about more specialized sites...
For me, the An1x have good bass sound, and very amazing and beautiful FM or numeric synth type sounds but i think the MS2000 have better deep and analogic bass sounds : more fat and more "analogic" !! But it's my first impression about the AN1x...
AN1x or MS2000 are very powerful for live playing : many controlers and knobs; modulation sequencers, arpegiattor.... AN1x have the ribbon controller and not the MS2000. AN1x Arpegiattor have 30 preset and MS2000 arpegiattor : 6.....But MS2000 have a very versatile vocoder (but you can't make "coherent" vocoder voices like "Daft punk" for ex. it's only for vocoder type effects : distorded "robots" type voices ....).
The specs about the synthetis capabilities are the same : 2VCO with a lot of waveforms and synchro, tuning, ring mod, mix, 2LFO, LPF, HPF, BPF 12/24dB/oct..... + effects : more choices in the AN1x than the MS 2000 : only 4 delay types and 4 modulations types(vibrato, phaser, chorus...) + distortion (no parameters). AN1x have all the effects you need with combination... And more playing expression capabilities (assignable knobs and controllers).
If you can, try this 2 Analog modeling synth in your music shop.... and make the good choice with your ears !!

Subject: [AN1x] Considering Buying an AN1X
Ok I know this is a real general question, but I am considering
buying an AN1x because someone on a forum recommended them. I am a
Bassist and was looking for something with which i could do Drum n
Bass style productions. How versatile is the AN1x. I heard it gets
Great Sub Bass sounds which is good. I was also considering buying
an MS2000. Does anyone know how these 2 synths compare? Can Anyone
tell what the AN1x features are exactly, i have yet to find this
info, but i am still searching. Does it have a vocoder? and Can i
hook it up to a midi contoller like the Evolution? Thanks everybody.
