Is that true Linda? About the CS2x? I always thought that strings were so-so on my cs2x....

  I use all my keyboards primarily for progressive rock sounds.

  Do some new age type stuff too and jazz piano and real Hammond.

  I have found the moog type sounds to be incredible. Up to this time, the
  only thing I would use if not a real Mini-Moog was a Kawai K-3 that I spent
  hours (days actually) programming and tweaking. The AN1X is so good at this,
  I wonder if I still need the K3. Not planning on selling it though....so
  don't ask;-)!

  I would like to add that some nice mellotron string sounds can be made with
  the CS2X (even though this is OT concerning this particular list...LOL!)

  Linda
