No and Yes

Why does everyone want vocoders????

The bass on the AN1x is like no other va bass. It has a very 'yamaha' sound- 
remember the DX11?- i don't want to recommend it because i want that sound 
all for myself!!

One thing it does do-which the only other synth i can think of does, is the 
minimoog- is, the ability to feedback the output back into the filter- how 
much bass do u need???- it ends up sounding like my bass cones are buckling 
up!

I only tried the ms2000 once- i didn't know what all the fuss was about- 
although i have heard some people do some remarkable music with it.

The bottom line is, all early jungle was done with say an Akai s950 or s1000- 
a few james brown breaks and a sine tone- buy it (the AN1x) and make it work 
for you.

enough said.
