The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I've had my AN1x v1.02 for nearly two years now with no sign of any 
significant bugs - not even a battery low warning ;-) There are a 
couple of design "limitations" (IMHO) I'd change but those don't 
qualify as bugs. And half of the changes I'd want would have driven 
up the MSRP so it's trade off :-/

The *only* problem I've had - and it was repaired by Yamaha under 
warranty - was that nasty 'popping' and 'clicking' sound at power-up 
that affected so many AN1x's back then (24+ months ago.) Being a 
hardware issue that problem probably would have only grown worse over 
time.

Let's face it, the AN1x is relatively bug free (OS problems.) I don't 
worry much about the OS ROM upgrade but if it's a nagging concern for 
you - call or email Yamaha and solicit the EPROM chip (just as Ed 
did.) At least you'll have peace of mind that you're on the current 
version. :-)

regards,
Jon
