Anyone else going for "Progressive Rock" sounds?

I have the AN200 (couldn't hold out for the AN1X), but I'm still quite happy. I've been playing with this toy almost every day and I have found lots of great sounds just by tweaking the knobs (haven't installed the software yet). I'm very heavy into prog rock (think Keith Emerson) and that is my primary target for sound creation. So far the AN200 has not dissapointed me (and remember, I still haven't used the software yet!). Here's the thing, I know that this unit was marketed toward "Trance/Hip Hop/Dance" musicians. So, am I the only one here putting this thing to uses "other" than those it was designed for? Also, I am completely ignoring the sequencing and drum machine abilities of this device. I don't have a use for either (at least not in the form that they are presented in on the AN200). I would love to hear what other prog rockers have to say! Carl
