A few weeks ago, I bought the An1x for a second time. The first time I must say I didnt like the users interface so much, especially once I saqw the JP8000. Later I realised that the engine was so much better in many ways than The Jp. With the free An1x editor the programming is just a breeze now: excellent. Now: this request to Yamaha: Dear sirs, U always have the better synth engine in your products, better than the other brands. But why, why cant u make the interface also better than the others. I explain: look at the cs1x, cs2x, an1x: the built quality does the engine injustice. My wishlist:
- More controllers and sliders (cfr Jp8000 and YOURS older Cs30, Cs20M: THOSE were the machines) - No more that synthetic case: light metal ( aliminium) - More polyphony, a third osciilator - users arepeggios - 4 track stepsequencers
In other words: an engineer is not an artist. Get a professional designer for the user interface.
Dont worry about sales percentages etc...: the home users markets is about 80% now, so dont underestimate that market. Even if we are no pro-users, PLEAZE give us what we ask for: a good synth engine and a good interface.
And last: give your synth a name, like u did on the Motif.
All these small things just make a product better for the manufacturer and for the user. We need u and u need us!
And for the rest... Yamaha ROCKX !
Take care
James
