I think there's already a shitload (pardon my French) of virtual
analogue synthesisers. Are we really waiting for yet another one?

The power of the AN1x is it's relatively low price, especially if
you consider the features. But now we have the Access's and the
Waldorfs and the Korgs and the Novations and the Clavias and...
there is *really* a lot to choose from.

And as I understand it, the strongest point of the AN1x is not the
sound, but the whole package with effects, keyboard, etcetera.

No doubt has Yamaha developed AN synthesis further, but it's another
issue if a commercial product emerges from it (like the AN1r, which
was canned).

If we compare the CS1x and CS2x (the CS6x is an entirely different
kettle of fish, and has very little in common with the other two),
there wasn't much improvement. I'm afraid that a AN2x would be
something similar... nothing spectacular.

Just my 0.02 euro.
