The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

If you can isolate it to a part, Yamaha still stocks some parts for the AN1x.  I recently purchased a few AN1x keys at a few dollars apiece from them....

  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.
