The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I just wanted to add, to dispel any "myths" in past discussion, the AN200
really IS a PLG150AN in a box. I was bored the other night, so I took the
bottom off, and there it was - the PLG150AN card mounted nicely right under
the cover. It's identical to the PLG card I have. I wasn't daring enough to
detach it and plug it into my CS6x, but it would definitely work.

Your assessment does seem correct, the units are identical with the
exception of morph/scene control and the factory "sounds" and sequences.

I prefer the knobby interface of the AN200, FAR easier to edit and create,
without having to use a computer, or deal with the limited parameters and
display of the "host" synth.
