Yep.  I gotta pipe in here on this thread.  ;^)
In my and my band's audio pursuits over the years we've learned time and again
that "if it doesn't go in, it won't come out".  For example after recording a
track in the studio we notice an acoustic guitar that lacks bottom.  Instead of
spending hours using plug-ins to try to put something reasonable into the track
via EQ, exciter, amp sim or whatever --- we just re-mic the track, fix the
preamp EQ and record again.

Same principle here with the AN1x series - if there's no rumble in the initial
oscillators or there's no bite, then trying to use processing (which includes
the internal VCF filter and resonance) just won't sound good.

Or maybe in summary: GIGO  (garbage in garbage out)
