The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I think the Virus sounds a little too mechanical for me (too robotic, don't like
it too much...), and the Nord Lead i like, because it has two waves that can
sync and other nice features... i'm waiting to see what the Nord Lead 3 will be
like....
And the AN1x.... well.... it's a nice little machine, isn't it? not too complex,
but different than other VA's... i mostly like the keyboard action of the an1x,
and the
the synthesizer part is also okay... but i hate menus and submenus :)

Cheers
Joel
