The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello, I recently purchased a AN1X, and am hoping I can learn some of the important things.  First of all, it is an amazing instrument, and mostly seems to be going strong for a 19 year old machine.  I have two questions to start: 1) I have noticed that the control matrix buttons aspect of programming seems odd, complicated and limited.  The seller did give me a CD with the PC editor, but I don't currently have a capable computer.  If I have my facts straight, only a Windows computer will work with the AN1X editor?  Would you say the PC editor gives you more ease and flexibility?  Does it make it worth buying a PC over a Mac? 2) In getting to know the board, I've noticed that when I touch the ribbon strip, whatever it is affecting stays stuck, and won't stop until I change to a different program. Any thoughts, advice, experience would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
