The most weird is that they never made a "new or big brother" for this synth
like happened to the CS1x that was succeded by the 2x and 6x...just a card
that don't fits in all Yamaha's synths, only in the new and expensive (or
should I say "expansive"?)....
I just can't understand the japs they did lost a great opportunity...or
didn't? Let's face that now we have to BUY an S series or a CS6x in order to
BUY the PLG-AN card...
