The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi , trying to install it under win7 x64, but all I get is the setup running in the background(task manager>process).

I had this working onthe same system before a major crash, so I had to install windows again, from which time it won't install.

Any idea?

Had the same issue W7 x64 not installing.
Right click the installer -> compat.mode and select Windows XP SP3.
This installed it on my pc.
after installation, right click the shortcut and again comp. mode to Windows XP SP3 for it to start.

Good luck.

I also had the same problem with Win7 Sp1 X64.

I had copied the install executable from a CD, and saw what you saw. It was there running as a process but not actually doing anything.
It did this even in XP SP3 compat mode.

What worked for me? I rebooted the computer. Bam, clean install.

Why did this work? No idea . . . :)

But now I have the editor running smoothly and it's so nice to be able to see the matrix on one screen.

I just bought my AN1X from that guy in Alabama you see on eBay who always seems to have one or two of these along with numerous other Yamaha keyboards. Paid a little more than I wanted to, but dang, I think it's worth it. Great sounding synth, very capable. Love this thing.
