as i said earlier in this list...
i had the same problem
it was the ribbon controller which was broken...
it take me 15 minutes to go to a official ROLAND/KORG/YAMAHA tech dude
another 5 minutes to replace the ribbon controller, and about 15$...for the
new ribboncontroller...
my AN1x works great again
i forgot...it took about 1 week to get the new ribboncontroller from Japan
