The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello

     I agree with you Bruce, write to Yamaha if you have a complaint of you
own, not to have 400 people write Yamaha because for the "fun" of it, or to
complain about a thing they are not "expected" to make available.

     You could always discuss if f.ex. an LFO numeric-value-to-Hz table,
should be made available or not. But you have to agree that if Yamaha, by
themselves made these things available to their customers, they would have a
wide range of satisfied customers. Take Access f.ex. they continue to make
new sound banks, editors and system updates available for download for their
Virus. I guarantee you that they have a huge number of satisfied customers.
I own a Kurzweil K2000, and I can still get support on that machine, this is
not possible at Yamaha. If your synth is a couple of years old, they hardly
know what you are talking about.

     I think all this also have to do with the fact that, when getting in
touch with Yamaha, with a problem, you often end up feeling, they have no
clue to what you are talking about. I mean, they should know, they developed
the machine.
