Hi, this is Jeff Harrington the guy who did most of the translation.
As a member of the AN1X list, I acted in good faith in my
legitimately given right (your permission to AN1X list members) to
use the AN1X patch library.

I regret that you're pissed off by my actions. I had no idea this
would happen - as I'm sure nobody at EX5Tech did and ask for your
permission and apologize after the fact.

We appreciate your hard work and have enjoyed immenselely the
entirety of the patch library. From one Yamaha user to another I can
only say, "Bravo!".

Jeff Harrington
