I enjoyed trying the voyager out in a store. I loved the authority of 
the sound. It's a good bit more stable than older minis I have 
played. I am spoiled however ... I was missing a mod matrix. There's 
ways to accumulate control signals with some external modules, but I 
sure missed being able to go to a menu and line up a bunch of 
concurrent modulations. Oh well, sound versus convenience. <sigh>

I find that the AN1X gets into classic minimoog territory in Unison-
Legato mode with a resonant 24db low pass filter, a fair amount of 
envelope depth on the filter (50-80) and about 25-50 on amplifier 
feedback. Oscillators, envelopes and portamento to taste.
