Ah, so the AN1x is monotymbral.. I was beating myself up trying to figure it
out! Well, I just bought a Nord Lead 2 anyway.. Zzounds had one left for $1220
so I couldn't pass it up. I remember in July of 1998 when I wanted to buy a
Nord Lead 2 the best pricing was $1600 and I said forget it.. The AN1x is a
great synth, but the Nord Lead makes a great synergy in the studio..
