Yes, stop hitting your synth. :)

The AN1x, for some reason, has a daughter board that does the second
half of the 10-voice polyphony. There's a chance that this somehow got
dislodged. I have no idea where this daughter board is, but there's
probably just a bunch of chips on it (at least one of them big and
labelled Yamaha) and nothing else. Try setting it again.
