The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi!
"> Back on topic, I've never seen any bug issues with the AN1x?"

Don't be afraid by the sometimes flashing LEDs, mostly the "scene" LEDs. It's a minor flaw that has no effect on sound or anything else, your synth software is not crashing etc... It is neither a power supply problem, with the stock one or any equivalent aftermarket it's the same story. 
Cheers
J.F.
