That's exactly it!- I think there is a lot of confusion over warmth.
-most warmth from old records is usually the recording path and
not just the source (although that helps).

I love the AN1x just as much as anyone else here, but I must speak of one 
of the AN1x's worst flaws: An output boost control. Yes you can make some 
speaker shredding basses, but unfortunately a lot of them turn out to be 
underpowered in the amplitude category, especially Moog-type sounds. The 
end result is very, VERY inconsistent output levels from patch to patch. 
One sound will be blazingly loud, the other timidly quiet, yet both the 
sound output parameters would be set to 127.

Yeah tell me about it!- actually my AN has been responsible for blowing up 
many a soundsystem. I've got loads of chinagraph pencil marks around the 
volume knob- different settings for different tracks/sounds!- I suppose 
that's what you get (like Organic food), for this current trend of everything 
fat and 'club-friendly'- in fact it's not- just a bloody pain in the arschen!

PS When is Yamaha going to release a VST pluggin of the AN1x?- I guess you 
have all heard the news of the new Emu VST E4 pluggin?- can't wait!
