Is the problem limited to just the one Voice or many Voices? Is it 
limited to a discrepency between left/right levels or is your AN1x 
suffering from distortion too?

Some years ago there had been a known problem with unwanted audio 
artifacts appearing at the AN1x outputs - this was acknowledged by 
Yamaha and could be corrected by a 'factory modification' performed 
by returning the unit to Yamaha.  The distortion, or 'popping' 
and 'crackling' as it was known, was not an uncommon complaint but 
I'm uncertain how to confirm this is indeed what ails your AN1x. It 
is of course possible the two are unrelated.
