Thanks for your reply. This is bad news as I am not prepared to send
the AN1x back to be repaired as its nearly a 10 year old instrument
and no doubt I will be charged alot of money for the repairs as the
warranty has probably ran out.
I am feeling p∗∗∗∗∗ off has the guy on eBay sold me the AN1x for
£250 UK POUNDS.
I will live with the pops and clicks as its only noticable when the
synth is first powered on after being switched of for a while. After
a few minutes the pops and clicks disappear.
Cheers.
Arthur
