Absolutely right Peter...
It seems that, depending on your country, the AN1x is still supported or not, maybe by the local distributor, not by Yamaha itself. But the software is one thing, you still need a blank EEPROM and the hardware to "burn" it, it is not possible via MIDI. Don't have any idea if the stock EEPROM is erasable or not, though this option could be a bit "kamikaze" if something turns wrong...
Cheers.

Yamaha can be pretty over zealous on copyright. Over at EX5Tech we've always been wary of copyright ever since Ski had a "cease and desist" demand from Yamaha Japan for hosting a scanned copy of a CS15 patch chart!
The same has been true on ROMS I used to have contacts in Yamaha UK and on EX5Tech we have sought permission to program the EX5 OS (ona not for profit basis), and the answer from Yamaha was always "no".
If this were pure software, there'd be no argument. But the software is useless without the "hardware dongle"; in other words, the AN1x or EX5. So somebody in Japan needs to get his head out of his posterior.
Oddly enough, the Yamaha 01V Yahoo group has been hosting the ROM image (which you can flash yourself) for ages.
