Yamaha AN200
Desktop Control Synthesiser 
I've owned this model since about mid 2002 and it still maintains an integral part of my studio. It's versatility as a tone generator remains high in the order of track production. Although the default patterns are fairly simplistic, the control functions of this unit denotes its powerful status in my sound production arsenal.
Essentially the unit is a desktop version of the popular PLG 150 daughter board. The unit features a comprehensive array of sound manipulation features reminiscent of vintage synthesisers of the 70's and 80's. In the right hands with some determined programming this little beast can rant and rave into a catchy lead or a dirty electro house base synth. In short this a small machine with a big heart.
