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?

If you have an an1x already then you pretty much have all the capability you need for performance sounds, i would say, and it sounds like you need just general kind of other sounds for pianos and strings and stuff. i'd lean towards a non-keyboard module - either the db50xg card or an MU unit.

i'd go for an mu unit - because the db50's inside your pc and will be getting mixed with digital audio at the output - so no external fx in the mix easily (unless you have a multiout). whereas if you have a module it's just as easy to use via midi as the internal card and you have a kind of extra output.

then again, you'd need a mixer, and you could start using up all your midi channels on your external port. but you shouldn't really. just my view...also then you could take the module gigging without having to lug either the pc (with the db50) or an extra keyboard (the cs1x) around.

Last weekend I bought a bunch of equipment (and I mean a bunch) for a bargain from a friend of mine who needed the money fast (and I happened to have it because I was planning on buying a car (who needs a stinkin car anyways), and it was really a bargain).
It included also an AN1x and a CS1x. The CS1x surprised me because it's got some very nice sounds for such a cheap keyboard, and I was much faster able to get some nice sounds out of it compared to the AN1x. But then, althought it's got 32 polyphony, it seems that when you're in performance mode, it can only be used monotimbrally. And for as far as I know you can only use it as a multitimbral device when it's in the xg mode, and then you can't make use of most of those nice sounds in there. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd say that if you can get it 2nd hand, it's worth it's price, but a new one isn't worth the money they want for it.

Purple Haze...you are wrong about performance mode ... the performance users 4 parts, leaving up to another 12 on which you can do all kinds of crazy sounds ... the performace ones...that you can't access in multi- (XG) mode.

I have a CS1x and an SW60XG which with the new XG Gold software is like having a cheap second CS1x....and I have a Phat.Boy.....so I am in heaven..... but the new SW1000XG....when it comes out...will be the card to have.

Rumours are there will even be AN1x and A3000 daughter cards for it...sounds far fetched... but would be so cool

Is the PhatBoy worth getting just for using with an MU10?

Isn't the MU10 just basically a GM module, doesn't have full XG ?

I wouldn't get it for a bog standard GM module.

I think it sends out NRPNs specific to XG

If your flush I'd wait for the SW1000XG.

Where can I get a db50 for $80? Or how 'bout an mu10? BTW, I'm surprised this unit didn't do better, laptop friendly & gives an extra midi i/o w/o wasting an isa slot.
