The JP is (and even was) also a lot more expensive

No thanks... i already heard demos of the CS2x, and me personally, i don't
like it one bit. ;] BTW, i'm curious why do you bash the AN1x and glorify
the CS2x (your averagely overpriced digital rompler with super digital
filter) on an AN1x list?
What kind of reactions were you planning to provoke? ;)

Hi.

It´s absolutely the Jp who´s the winner in my oppinion.
First of all.
I have own both those machines.
And I think An 1 x is just a plastic toy with the worse digital sound 
ivé ever heard.
The Jp sounds quite digital too but this machine has got a pretty warm
sound.Nice Pads and good bass sound.

I say if youre looking for a An 1 x guys why don´t you take a look
at 
the Cs 2 x which got it all the way.
A lot of samples lovely pads and strings and some amazing basses and
its absolutely a great Dance/Trance/Club synth.

If you like to you can hear how the Cs 2 x sounds like.

I've heard some samples of JP8K and I know people that own it (besides it's
price) and I'm not impressed w/ the samples and how it sounds, but my
friends we're impressed by the AN1x...
The JP8K has only 49 keys, but it have some goodies that may lead you to
think it's the best choice, but didn't worked on me...I shall get a JP8080,
but for it's price I prefer to get a VirusB.
If you have them both I suggest you to spend more time w/ your AN1x and
learn how to get its best....

I had one...and I miss it.
But why do I have to choose a rompler to simulate the analog sounds (that
makes any Dance/Trance/Club music) if I can buy a VA to do the same and even
better??
I sold my CS2x to buy the AN1x for this reason...this kind of music IS made
w/ analog sounds!

It sounds good ,I know. And IMHO it's better then the CS1x...but
unfortunately it doesn't have the AN's synthesis power...

Read this review from a guy who works w/ synths and actualy have real analog
gear to compare the sounds...

There you may read this:

me, and screamed "Play me!""
**"summary: Don't hesitate, BUY!"

Mango, this is the dude from a few hundreds of posting ago, who just 
joined the list to promote his mp3´s... see?

To compare a CS2x and a AN1x is like comparing apples and oranges. 
The CS2x is a sampleplayer (AWM2-synthesis). The AN1x uses (virtual) 
substractive synthesis. 

Thank you.

Touché, Pin! ;)

Just to add my two cents...

I would take the AN1x over a JP8000 any day. Not to say the JP8000 
doesn't have its strengths - I just find the AN1x fits my tastes 
better. Also, I actually prefer the way the knobs are set up on the 
AN1x in banks. I just helps me organize things in my mind better when 
going to tweak something. 

My setup also includes and Nord Modular - which in my opinion is just 
an unbelievably great synth. And, the AN1x and Nord complement each 
other nicely.
