    Some nice organ, same for the EP but otherwise it's good fat dynamics in low and very sharp in the treble. Filters are good without being the best in the market but also as a matter of taste.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A bo synth blue advisor ... but cost before. If you are the azz, look elsewhere ...
    Good quality price
    I sold a 6 Emu PK got my most versatile style of music that I play with my band.

    However, I will focus on the ability to record any movement of pots (up to 4), a few seconds or a few times and played in a loop to trigger notes. Therefore, there is no limit to the modulations: any parameter of the sound can be modulated, and if you are not agile enough to turn the button next regular cycles, the publisher (AN1xEdit) you will draw any curve. When you know that a synth "analog", the number of LFO is an argument, as that it has two ... over four counting function.

When you know that a synth "analog", the number of LFO is an argument, as that it has two ... over four counting function.

    UTILIZATION

    Getting started is easy, aided by a manual in the first part overviews the principles of the device. Of course, the facade does not offer as many pretty buttons that all its competitors, but when you see the price, it's normal! All this is offset by a matrix system and color codes: when the machine is well known, can be programmed very quickly.
    Now, if you're used to with all the synth parameters direct access, then yes, it can be tedious (is not it, Dul?).
    Note also that the 8 knobs can be assigned to 8 sound parameters (in addition to the tape, the dials, ...), to modulate the sound during live performances ... without error.

    SOUNDS

    Do not rely on the factory sounds ... They give an overall idea sounds, I would call ... "Clinical" and rather conventional. But when one knows the machine is able to reproduce most of the analog sounds: TB-303, organs, electric pianos, basses at Moog, tablecloths at the WYD.
    Now, if we explore many possibilities, you can get sounds strange, partly thanks to the FM synthesis. I invite you to listen to an example http://www.paperjam.be/sound/x_machine.ram.
    However, its lack of polyphony, its filters are probably not the best, and sounds very "self-clean", the AN1x makes it difficult to have the big big sound that kills ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it shortly after its release, and it remains my reference device (in addition to a MicroKorg, an A5000, a D50, a RM1x and all sorts of plugins).
    You will find many user reviews in the world dance and techno. But I use it in two areas a little different:
    1) My electro-rock LAUNCH FREE (listen to the arpeggiators WHY? On http:www.freelaunch.net (http://http:www.freelaunch.net), and you tell me the news!) .
    2) In a project electro / dowtempo / breakbeat called PAPER JAM (http://www.paperjam.be): the AN1x there is a role: most of the basses, leads, and effects, he . Even my producer, with no lack of high-end devices, is not indifferent to what I have out of the AN1x.

    Dj Describes extensively above. They are impressive gure for Premire (10-voice polyphony, 2 oscillators per channel). Looks like Yamaha, great champion of "all numrique" and titillated by his classmates began "to see" the analog revival. Without really believing it has installed in the case of a SERIES Previous rcupr an electronic "switch" and a keyboard trs enjoyable play. And cr an unusual instrument in its production but nanmoins trs INTERESTED who wants to tackle it a little srieusement: a machine as it has not been 1) to make sounds " ralistes "and 2) use only the factory sounds. A brief returns to the original spirit of synthtiseur, sound research. Connectivity is standard in the genre, with a small "plus" the possibility of connecting two assignable foot controller (an "all or nothing" and pedals) in addition to the classic volume pedals.
    Aesthetics trs (too?) Discrte, the color blue - gray is a nod to vnrables ancestors (ARP 2600), no fluff at all: a dozen knobs, a fist pushbuttons and basta.

    UTILIZATION

    The interface is fairly Drout at first, it has less buttons than his friends (Clavia, Roland Korg and other), so the buttons and knobs are almost all "multifunctional". In the beginners you get lost a little, but with a little practice is all quite usable, if somewhat mind moves away from "analog" with a control by function. The book is fairly comprehensive but a little "clutter" (reference page 50 page 92 etc ...). Hint pnible but hlas more rpandu: the power supply transformer into the outlet, not practical at all with multiple sockets, it condemns the two adjacent outlets.
    On a positive note, everything is accessible from the front without using a computer editor, the machine itself is sufficient. Needless to say, it apprciable other than in his room!
    Another trick of formidable efficiency: the connection of subsets (oscillators, filters, effects, various controllers etc. ..) to each other by an array of programming that makes an almost modular.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds .... it's such a story got personal!
    To make "Baloche" with "his" machines, a piano or brass tail raliste larger than life, it's rap, go your way. Nanmoins, something very useful at times, we get easily get electric pianos or organs (including pipes) plutt nice.
    APRS is the world of purely electronic sounds: the everything is done and, despite appearances, the possibilities are quite thunderous. The squenceur - arpgiateur allows rudimentary stuff in the style of Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream other, the controllers are effective in real time to sound "live" modifiable will when we play. The machine does not sound too "Yamaha" (sounds too bright and "mtalliques"), nothing numriques do with the brand. EUROPEAN production (Novation, Clavia, Access etc. ..) would be the best at this level but the price is not the same! The effects section is sufficient in the majority of cases. Sr Although there are more and more in a rack spar but the dj is still in it .... As usual the factory sounds are quite arbitrary: go ahead, change in all directions and Crez your own, a will get better!
    The keyboard is trs enjoyable to play, but not too strong, low noise and dynamics rpond correctly.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 15 days, I would say nothing about the reliability ... it dates from 97, everything works well, so should not be a bad. O the rate it used ngoc (more manufactured between 200 and 300, you have for the price of an ordinary keypad n'met no sound the same opportunity, over a synth East "search" trs INTERESTED. mconnu but is an instrument of a report qualitprix trs INTERESTED current prices. If c'tait again? yes no hsitation least to put much more expensive. And tight deadlines to harness an expander of the same style to dcupler opportunities, the keyboard is good and of a comfortable tension (or the Korg Roland have only four octaves)

    The edition in spite of the matrix, and because of the number of parameters very subtle rub the parameters Drout (for example, the VCA section, the volume is a cot feedback, which can screw up the sound: should not be in the gourrer Precipitation Occurred ...
    Another problem with menus li edition: If you make a mistake, it can be to find what galrer knob what menu ... Finally, the panel srigraphie tends to fade a use, which is rather ch ....

    SOUNDS

    The sound seemed to me to agree, until I tested the real analog is much more musical and that's not to say anything: the diffrence between a clavinova and a piano .... what
    No sound "raliste" possible, from the organ a little flat or pseudo-DX7 rhodes hilarious but are doing good in passs with tremolo effects and has the support: you have to get his sound, and finally do not try to imitate. this machine in many surprises when it "follows", when costs much what is happening because the number of parameters to adjust any ... and we find sacred surprises. I think the digital sound the craziest I've ever came out of the blue keypad.

    on the other hand is pretty horrible when he wants to emulate a Moog or a clavinet, a sound of copper to the prophecy or making fine strings .. It is fantastic for Fx, leads dreangeants, tablecloths bizarre and scrolls. It must follow I tell you, he has his personality

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since 2000, he followed me everywhere together and surprised me more than once by what comes out: a thin, somewhat strident, full-aliasing filter, an r resonance too tiring and not adjustable, but you can blow up at any time and boost

    The rest was more fun when you sync to another MIDI virtual analog, and with some rglages, one driver with two knobs that affect the parameters of each keyboard DIFFERENT: funny, very funny, pais and much more!
    It's really the least: his squenceur arpgiatteur and fairly AGRER not live, and the fact that it sounds yamaha, and there's nothing to do: for it against me introduced to the joys of synthse, and a thank you

    F bought 3700 and in 2000 a little expensive but now times it is a machine that can do many things with his features, for 2000 F. (300 euros Sorry I'm a grandmother)

    with exprience, I do it again for what I do: leave to buy a machine for its brands and we love her, buy the real, to make a rhodes rhodes, clavinet one, and a real synth or an analog machine string. The sound is the price of: breaking the bank back and have four keyboards on stage ...

    Characteristic similar to JP8000.
    Ability to edit the sound via the PC.

    UTILIZATION

    Use whatever is easier.
    It includes all useful pots.
    Only the matrix that I have some problems (I still do not quite understand how it works)

    SOUNDS

    Ha sounds!
    Listen first in-store bank of origin.
    Some very good sounds for trance, but much unusable.
    It was later when I started fiddling that I realized the prossibilités.
    And the day I managed to make a supersaw, I was the happiest in the world! From there I started creating a lot of lead and Famous are all still in fashion.

    The black dot is the polyphony. My advice: Turn off the effects to gain votes, and use those in your sequencer. And unison mode, you will have all the voices available for your supersaw that sound like the famous Airwave! Add vibrato or increase the detune, and you have beautiful trance lead.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for many years.
    I do not use it much (if at all now) for its sound as vst come out today sounds as good or better for a much more flexible and simple via the sequencer.
    Now for 150 €, investment worth.
    I would do this choice, even though today, I let myself be tempted by the well-SH201 (not to mention the Virus TI of course ...)

    Good if you want to sound ultra ralistes not looking in the AN1x, it is not for a.
    The leads and pads are not bad and there is also a lot of effects has to do with this machine that can give depth to the music.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 year.
    I like it because it is not too bulky (compared to others).
    I like these sounds very lctroniques.
    I tried many before MODELS acqurir sduit and so I must admit it is the price. The report is qualitprix trs good.
    I would do without this choice problem because the use is simple can couraging good tips for me are perfect with the price.
