I've already got a AN1X (haven't figured it out yet) but have heard the sounds on the CS1X and like what I hear, so, is it worth me investing in a CS1X or a DB50XG daughterboard?

Alternatively, is there an outboard module version of the CS1X? MU90R? SY700XG?

Any ideas?

Depends on what you want to use it for...for GM and some
synth sounds get the DB50, I don't know what yer AN1X will
do, it might have all yer performance needs already

Rouge....Dont bother getting a CS1x. The only difference between the sound of it and a DB50 are the performance sounds. But the DB50 can load up sounds from the QS300 (Up to 32 at a time) and they are just as good as the CS1x performances. The only other factor is the hands on aspect since the DB50 has no knobs for realtime control, but you could put the card with a Phat.Boy controller which will give you realtime control over basically all the parameters of the voices on the card and they can be had for as little as 120 quid new. Remember that the CS1x is about 400 quid more than the DB50.
The MU10 is the external module equivalent of a DB50. But the higher MU models will give you more voices, effects and polyphony. Hope that helps

Naw... I dont think so... the two synths are totally different. I dont really know a whole lot about the AN1x... but I know it actually generates its own sounds, where the CS1x is sample based.

I own both the CS1x and DB50XG. I think they're both great. But I agree with Will. With this new XG-Gold program thats out you can load these excellent 4 element patches from the QS300 right into you DB50XG. And these patches are similar to the presets on the CS1x (including stuff like "Sub Bass" and "909 Kit" )

The db50 is so cheap these days ($80 in the US) you might want to consider just getting both.

The AN1X is a virtual analogue buddy!
CS1X - Control synth (based on samples - y'know!)

Kilo - I think you're fucking mad. You Hear Me!

Go and take your pills and rest now ...

Anyway, is there an external module that has ALL the CS1X sounds in it. I can use the AN1X as a controller...

Whats this QS3000 thingy??

Rouge...The QS300 is a workstation keyboard from yamaha. Its recently been discontinued, but cost about �1300 in its prime.
A module like the MU100R will Shit on the sounds from the CS1x, but may cost a bit more- the SW1000XG card, will have all these sounds on it but you will be limited to lugging the PC around live, but would be cool with a Phat.Boy
