The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I have tested my AN1x with just the headphones connected and the 
problem seems to have disappeared. I then tested with the line 
outputs connected and still there is no problem. Finally I tested 
with the headphones and line outputs both connected and again no 
problems.

The problem seems to have disappeared.

Could it be that...

1) I pressed the "assign" button while powering on the synth that 
fixed the problem

or

2) My AN1x is temperamental?


Cheers

Arthur
