The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi, Joe:

The way I know how to reach him is through the S90 forum, at 
www.sninety.com.  When you join the forum, you can email other forum 
members.  His email on the forum is DavePolich.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any difficulty contacting 
him.

K.
