I say Digital. The filter changes seem super automated.

Actually they aren't automated, I did it manually

living sounds: you were the most correct. It's a fully digital, early "VA" synthesizer. I say "VA" because the Yamaha AN1x is a very flexible synth that's capable of making far more than analog style sounds, and it's very true that it's hardly the best synth for general analog sounding stuff! For that, I wouldn't choose it usually, but it's not bad at all. If you try a little, you can make some really nice fat sounds like in the first sample I posted. I use it mostly for pretty digital sounds and all kinds of sound effects that it excels at.
It's a great synth for tweakers since it can make a very wide range of sounds.

Its filter has been criticized a lot, but according to this poll's results and comments in the thread, people seem to generally like it. I do have a synth that is digital with an analog filter, the Waldorf microWave, but it's not featured here

.

Interesting facts:
Most people who voted in this thread, feel attacked and want to be left alone.
A very small percent of people were right and voted for the correct, second answer.
I got several nice contradicting opinions

.

Cheers.

wow. AN1X eh? Now I feel really stupid, because I have one of those...

That's funny, I wanted to write AN1X down in this thread and restrained myself, changed it to "early VA"!

I never had one, but that's how I imagined it/remembered what I know from demos in the 90s...
There are plugins now which sound a good deal better to my ears... couldn't this thing do some FM, too?

Sure, it has some nice FM.

I'm not so sure. Sounds more like Xhip to me.

But Poly-Ana has a quality option that lets it disguise itself as [strike]lesser[/strike] er, other synths, so... could be!

When do we get the answer?

we did, it's the an1x, right?

Oops, sorry, didn't catch up.

It's the anux.

Is it a hardware or software synth? Is it analog or digital?

What kind of synth was used to make this note?
