The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

sorry for big delay! i promissed to write right after i get the an1x 
and thanks to Jon,  Jeff and Sergiy (thanks again for the piece of 
advice) now  i have second hand an1x with all the factory settings 
restored. well, considering the price i paid (300$) maybe it's not a 
wonder, that this board has some problems but i'm in Korea now and 
it's not so easy to get understood even at the biggest musical store 
in Seoul. So i decided the proper maintaince to be done when i come 
back in my country- Bulgaria. About the problems - they are three:
- DC jack sometimes just switches the power off- it could be 
expected since this is obvously an old and not very gently used 
board (it even has a crack on the rear panel) so it needs a change;
- volume knob causes scratches sometimes, maybe just needs to be 
cleaned;
- ribbon controller sometimes behaves kind of strange- sometimes it 
changes the sound without touching. after ignoring it in the system 
settings menu i don't experience such a problem anymore, but losing 
this so expressive controller is not a good idea. maybe again some 
dust or something...yeah you may say didn't you notice all these 
things when you were taking the board..obviosly i didn't..i was busy 
to enjoy the beautiful yamaha sounds. but i hope it all can be fixed.
one more thing: sometimes when i tweak the knobs changing some of 
the patches "edit" appears on the screan, but sometimes it doesn't. 
could you explain me why? many thanks again!
