Although the AN1X and the Nord Electro are both exceptional boards, 
neither can emulate transistor organs as well as my Conn Swinger organ 
which on top of having two manuals has a bossa nova beat as well.I wish 
modern keyboards had multi colored plastic preset buttons.

Can easily be done, ask Ed to come over and mod your AN1x right up in
buck rogers style!

He'll thank you for letting him do that, that buck rogers thing and all.

No really, he would ;D

ps: I've been working a little bit on a jsynthlib driver for the AN1x,
so far I've got a patch library going, but addresses are kinda hardcoded
at the moment. Just a quick hack, but at least I could load and store
patches from my AN1x to the computer and back again (linux).

Shoot, if I keep loosing knobs on mine, I'll just start buying  
replacement  kinobs in different colors for mine.  in combo organ  
fashion, my filter cuttoff knob would be light blue, my edge knob  
would be light green (that's the color of a multitone booster on a  
farfisa, my volume knob would be red, and my reverb knob white.

Well, dang yeah right!

Doesn't the Ion have blue LEDs under the keys?  Or is it under the 
wheels... yep it's the wheels.  If you really want to make an 
impression, just throw talent under the bus and turn on the flashies.  
Or, keep the talent and be a flashy butthole like Keith Emerson -- whom 
I saw this June with his Monster Modular Moog -- still jacking off a 
ribbon controller until it spews fireworks ---- 35 years later.  O so 
cool... there's nothing like raw musicianship and showmanship combined 
to give that *great taste : less filling* satisfaction.

*(Um, should I buy the cell phone with the Janet Jackson nipple ring 
style buttons?  I thought I was cool but this girl said the stitching on 
my phone case was gay and blue means you're looking for someone and I 
like this American Eagle polo but it doesn't have an alligator....)*

Everyone who has come into keyboards since the '90s should be forced to 
pay their dues for one night at a gig with a Farfisia or Conn organ and 
a Mini-Moog that you have to set all of the knobs again in between each 
song.  And a guitarist who can't sing and has a D string that goes out 
of tune 5 measures into each number.
