The filter is part of the synthesis algorithm, so that is the same 
across all of Yamaha's AN range (AN1x, EX series, PLG150AN, AN200). Only 
the PLG150AN and the AN200 have cross-modulation, which the AN1x and the 
EX series lack.

What the EX series have better is the effects section, and arguably the 
analogue electronics. But the EX5(r) is only duophonic if it comes to 
AN, and the EX7 is monophonic. I love my EX5, but for AN sounds I use my 
AN1x.
