The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thanks for the help john!

I checked wich os i got and it seems like i have 1.01. I read 
something about 1.04, is this the newest os available? If so, can i 
get it from yamaha? I mean, i bought my an1x secondhand, why would 
they like to help me then? If i can, then what should i do? Do you 
know a email or a person i can contact or something? How did you do 
to obtain 1.04???

I figured out how to use the LFO`s and its pritty simple. Although i 
think its a little dissapointing that all the destinations are 
hardwired and not able to relink in the modmatrix. That would be good 
for creating really experimental sounds. Nevertheless i think it 
makes very good leads and basses and pretty good pads to!

Today when i powered up my An1x it behaved strange. First i got some 
louds pops and then when i played some tones some where like cut in 
half (like a note off instantly when i actually was holding the keys 
down). Then a kind of crackling noisy sound began sounding constantly 
for like 40 seconds, then i turned the an1x off, and back on and the 
crackling was still there but dissapeared after some 10 seconds. Then 
everything sounded fine. Have anyone have similiar experiences? It 
got me pretty worried now that i have no warranty and all. The only 
thing i now is that i had not used it for the whole day and the room 
was a bit cold when i powered it up. But still, its very strange!

Sofar i really like the sounds i can create with it but i think the 8 
control knobs are horrible. When other synths step 1-2 steps at a 
time (of 127) my an1x steps 3-5! Im thinking of open it up and clean 
around the iron pins and take the plastic knobs for a bath. Any 
advice on cleaning it? Everything else works fine though.

In total im sofar very happy with the an1x!
