The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi,

I have a similar problem on my AN1x, but in my case, it is distortion on
outputs.  Since the headphone outs sound fine, I don't think it is my
patches being too loud (assuming that it is not distorted at D/A stage).  I
remember it was working fine before, so this problem started at some point.
So I have been using Y cable from phone out for a several months now (I have
forgotten that I have been doing this!).

Jon, you have mentioned "pops and clicks" at start up - I do have that
problem.  I bought this unit from SamAsh for $500, but I don't know if it
was new, or a factory refurb, and I never had it serviced.  Is what I am
experiencing the "old problem" you have mentioned??

Thanks,


-Yutaka
