Re: [AN1x-list] is $530 a good deal for an AN1x than CS2X?

2000-06-28 by Jesse P Buehler

I hate tell you, but AN1x's are super cheap Brand New now.  I paid 479
for mine from Sam Ash.  As far as the An1x sounding like a CS2x, that
synth is sample based, and the An1x is analog modeling.  Entirely
different beasts.  However the An1x is an amazingly powerful synth.
