Re: [AN1x] Another problem with AN1x

2006-09-09 by Bob S.

Probably the encoder control just needs some cleaning....all my Yamaha synths get this way....

Just spray some good contact cleaner down the shaft of the control and work the control back and forth...

  Subject: [AN1x] Another problem with AN1x

  Hi,

  Aswell as my problems with the pops and clicks when turning the AN1x 
  on I have another problem.
  The problem is that when I am editing sounds by turning certain knobs 
  in the VCF page the values move about. An example I have is when I set 
  the value on the filter cutoff to 0 it automatically moves back up to 
  97 and moves between 97 and 91. It also affects the sound.

  I am findng this very annoying as it is depriving me from editing 
  sounds.

  I am a very unhappy man:(

Doe this occur only when you turn the control/data encoder to a new position?  If so, then the encoder just need to be cleaned or replaced......all my later Yamaha synth gear have encoder issues when they get dirty as they are not sealed controls....

Hi Bob,

I don't turn any knobs or buttons, the problem happens when I switch 
on the AN1x after a few hours. When I switch the synth on, the edit 
indicator instantly appears and thats when the VCF cutoff goes all 
crazy.
