Synopsis:

Digital (analog modeling) subtractive synth with scene memory (and 4 parameter recorder). Architecture Class: Conventional (subtractive).

Ebay Description:

The Yamaha AN1x is a 61 key, (velocity and aftertouch sensitive) 10 voice polyphonic (bitimbral) analog synthesizer, featuring dual oscillators (pulse/saw mix waveforms with sync, FM, and PWM), noise, ring modulation, resonant multimode (low|high|band pass or band reject) filter, dedicate (decay) pitch and (ADSR) filter and amplifier envelopes, dedicated pitch LFO (multiple sine, triangle, square, saw-down, saw-up, random waveforms), shared LFO (triangle waveform), extensive modulation control, arpeggiator, 16 step sequencer, effects, and MIDI.
