Synths in general get too shrill. VAs more so. It's not just the high end of the spectrum, synths can quickly overwhelm a mix. You have to learn how to comp around the singer and the guitar, use 2 note chords,one finger leads,thin out your sound. Those unsion dual pads with fm and everything else just turn the mix to mud. I have a nice spectrum analysis picture of the AN1X that I'll have to dig out and post. You can see there's energy filling the whole spectrum. Not much space for anything else. Rainbow Jimmy
