Gee, I just bought an AN1x, my first, and it is in the mail.....
Who knows what I got ! ....guess I'll find out soon enough.....
Perhaps leaving the synth on most of the time would be a solution....

Subject: [AN1x] Re: Clicks and crackles problem on AN1x
Hi,
I bought the AN1x from a private seller on eBay with 100% good
feedback.
He even let me pick it up from his house and let me have a demo play
of the AN1x before I bought it.
I only noticed this problem when I switched the synth on the next
day.
I doubt very much if he will pay for the repair as feedback has
already been given.
Cheers
Arthur
