Seil DK600 by any chance? Still have mine, but it's pretty non-functional nowadays, after the backup battery leaked and destroyed some of the main board. Powers up, but no sound and can't select any patches etc. Shame, I bought it new and it gave me lots of pleasure. In the UK when I bought it at £999 it was the first touch sensitive synth available at under £1000. I actually preferred some of its sounds to the P5, a little more subtle. T had the advantage of having 3 LFOs, although you didn't have independent control of them all (2 were tied together). It's one big disadvantage was not having a separate envelope for the filter. It shared this with the amplifier and you could just choose to link it or not. Anyway, I played many happy gigs with it. Wish I could get it going again ... sigh HNY, Nigel -----Original Message----- From: spaceanimals [mailto:rainbowjimmy@spaceanimals.com] Sent: 04 January 2005 18:49 To: AN1x-list@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AN1x] re an board and the prophet 5 Keyboard Magazine compared the Prophet 5 to several VAs including the AN1X. Said the Prophet 5 was warmer but more vanilla, needed eq to really sit in a track. Dave Smith who designed the Prophet 5 worked in Yamaha's physical modeling department for a spell, also designed VA software synths so chances are it's pretty close. For me, VAs give me 97% of what I want in an analog synth. I had a beautiful sounding old Siel but it never worked right. Never knew from day to day whether it would work or not. Cassette tape patch backup. Didn't have half the capabilities of the ANix. In a mix, the AN1X sounds analog except the pulse width mod doesn't have the same throb. Hard to put into words. With the free eg and the mod matrix you can get sounds from the AN1X that I never heard from another synth.
