The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Very cool.  Thanks for the thanks.

Enjoy your new super synth.  Let's see, I've had mine for 5 years and can't find
many others that can out perform it.  Every instrument has it's personal
voicings, and I certainly give a nod to Novation and other performance oriented
keyboards, but so far the AN1x is enough of an analog emulator for my stack.
YMMV
