The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Tom,

>Jup...AN1x is modeled after Prophet 5...and so is the Nordlead 1/2...

Take "modeled after" with a grain of salt, though.  A lot has changed since the early '80s, and if the folks at Sequential were starting over, and subtractive analog synths were again the hot product of the year, they would probably do things a little different the second time around.  Hence, the extensions that synths like the AN1x, Virus, and Nord Lead have over their predecessors.

And the Prophet 5 was, itself "modeled after" (in the pre-digital sense of the term) the Minimoog to a great extent.  One might even argue that it was a better polyphonic Minimoog than the Memorymoog.

Regards,

-BW
