The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

We upgraded one of our An1x's because they sent it to us without us asking,
but we noticed zero difference.. so I haven't bothered upgrading the other
one..

Cheers

  Subject: [AN1x-list] Why upgrade?


  Hi,

  For all of you who want that upgrade, take a few things into account:
  - Your AN1x is working fine
  - The upgrade doesn't add any new features and only fixes a few very minor
  bugs
  - There's a definite danger in upgrading.

  This is not like an upgrade from Windows 95 to 98. You don't get anything
  extra.

  As for the danger, I just read on the EX5 discussion board that someone
  replaced the floppy by a Zip drive into it, but decided to put the floppy
  back. When he was assembling the EX5, the lid fell down on the
motherboard.
  (The thing is rather heavy.)

  The EX5 was dead, and he discovered that two pins of a small chip were
  touching. He pulled them apart and although the synth does a bit more now,
  it still acts funny, all the patches are garbled and a factory reset does
  not help. I haven't checked if there's a change in his situation, but this
  guy has a serious problem.

  So, just consider for yourself, is it worth taking this risk, of ruining a
  perfectly good working instrument, for something that doesn't do anything?

  I know darn well I'm not going to change *anything* with my version 1.02.
  Has it ever let me down? Never! So why bother?

  - Peter
