The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I didn't ask for a refund for several reasons, but the
most important is that I simply may not even want one.
For $200 the only things not working are the
scenes(which I really DO want) and the sequencer row
in the matrix which, being a logic user, I don't care
about. I will continue to make patches until I make a
clear decision on it. 

I figure its resale value is comparable to what I paid
and I'm hopefull about repair costs.
