AMEN!  everyone bitches about the AN1x cause it's not enough polyphony or not 
enough multitimbrality.....i say FUNK DAT....There comes a time when a man, 
or mankind will evolve into realizing there are such things as DAT Tapes, and 
Audio Sequencers, and not be stuck in the stone ages of 1985's INCREADIBLE 
MIDI technology! *the crowd gasps and chokes up*  

    Don't get me wrong, i like midi for some things, but i'd much rather 
sequence audio whenever possible....just my opinion, it has it's advantages 
and disadvantages.  I'm into some pretty crazy music; experimental, 
industrial, ambient, noise stuff and the AN1x is *perfect* for that stuff, 
but i still sometimes would like to have the ability to change some things 
with a visual representation on my computer screen and do some pretty whacky 
things to the audio, some things that are just plain *impossible* with MIDI, 
and i think it hinders alot of talent out there right now.....woops, im 
rambling...

ps.  Yes! i can type in correct english, proper grammer and everything!  i 
just choose not to waste my time with it in email (must be my punk rock 
background eh?) so if it bothers you-sorry-and sorry about your luck....
