Re: [AN1x-list] Blank LCD Hi Peter
Quote from youself:
"My AN1x had been acting more and more weird over time, but a factory
reset solved the problems. However, if it's on for a while now,
the right channels crackles and then disappears"
Probably just a coincidence but I'm experiencing problems with my right channel as well - as it turns out, there's a faulty connection within the output connector itself.
Incidently, I did have a problem a couple of years back when I first got the synth - certain patches would develop nasty 'clicks' and 'pops'. Eventually after re-selecting numerous other patches or factory reset (and hours later) the fault would disappear, only to reappear later on a different patch.
Eventually I was came to the conclusion that the fault was created as the synth was being switched off. It seemed that if a certain patch was STILL sounding as the unit was turned off (eg a string pad with a slow release), as the current 'scene' is automatically 'saved' in order for it to be availale when the unit is first switched on again, some sort of data corruption would take place, (semi) permanently writing to the current patch.

My solution: NEVER turn it off the AN1x whilst the current patch is still sounding ie. wait for silence BEFORE hitting the power ON/OFF switch.

This may not be the answer, but I haven't experienced any 'clicks' or 'pops' in well over a year.
Has anyone else experienced this pheneomenon?
Does anyone know off the top of their head of a Operating System 'Bug Fix' Update?
Merry Music Making!
