The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Gee, I just bought an AN1x, my first, and it is in the mail.....

Who knows what I got ! ....guess I'll find out soon enough.....

Perhaps leaving the synth on most of the time would be a solution....

  Hi,

  I bought the AN1x from a private seller on eBay with 100% good 
  feedback.

  He even let me pick it up from his house and let me have a demo play 
  of the AN1x before I bought it.

  I only noticed this problem when I switched the synth on the next 
  day.

  I doubt very much if he will pay for the repair as feedback has 
  already been given.

  Cheers

  Arthur
