After a month of owning it I sold my AN1x, however the problem with the machine was not it's sounds or anything like that it was ME.. My mate who bought it is into his house music and stuff like that, he came round and tried it, well bloody hell it sounded fucking ace with him playing it! I'm just shit at keyboards it looks like. I'm putting my money towards an A3000 (at least it's blue as well) I know I can use a sampler from having one before. I was trying to get the AN1x to sound as dirty and nasty as my Casio CZ-101 but I guess that my mate is going to use it for the stuff it's really good at (pads / strings / nice housey chords). Ah well at least I made a profit.

I thought that the AN synthesis is only apparent in the EX5R and EX5. I didnt think the EX7 had it on board. Unless I'm thinking of VL or DDSP (or whatever its called). Anyway the AN processing on the EX 5 does not offer the 10 note polyphony of the AN1X.

I heard an EX7 for the first time the other day. Admittedly I was pissed out of my head at the time so that could of affected my judgement. But it sounded ok.

Whatever you're going to do you better make your minds
up quick because Yamaha have discontinued the AN1x
for good. All UK Yamaha retailers are able to get
the AN1x at the �499 price, not just Turnkey.

The EX7 has AN synthesis. It does not have VL. The EX7 has 1 voice of AN and the EX5 2 voices. The thing I found cool about the EX synths is that you can use the inernal sampler to sample an AN voice. You can therefore expand your polyphony to whatever your needs dictate by sampling your AN voices.

That is true. But I thought only the EX5 had the sampling facility. Maybe I'm wrong, I mean , I was completely drunk when I read the article.

Yamaha really pisses me off. I've forked out nearly a grand for one of their shitty virtual analogue synths only to find out that in a space of a year its halved in value and been discontinued. What a fucking cunt I am.

me too. we should've known though. virtual analogs are basically computers. and we all know how fast computers lose their value. i'm sticking to thoroughly second-hand goods from now on.....

I could do with another 2 tier, give me yours and I'll let you live (said in a threatening school bully "give us yer dinner money" voice).
