Ed,
Did you ever get the v1.04 EPROM Yamaha sent you installed? How did 
it work out? If so, can you check whether the Arp/Seq will now 
transmit when LOCAL = Off?

Thanks,
Jon

Yeah, Jon, got it and installed it (and IIRC I think I posted to the group)
and found absolutely nothing I could document as different.

I will investigate the transmission question you have this weekend (still
packed up from a gig) and give you a report.

The Yamaha tech guy said the only real big improvement with EPROM 
v1.04 is that it prevents the 'low battery' warning from coming on 
too early. Woo hoo!!

Someday I'll get out the golden screwdriver and install it anyway. :-)

Hello everyone

     This is what the OS v1.04 is all about, no new updates or new features:

1. A "Battery Low" message appears prematurely when the voltage of the
lithium backup battery reaches on avarage 2,97V.

2. If Delay effect settings are changed while playing, a pooping noise can
sometimes be heard.

     No need to rush out and get the chip, of cause if you are experiencing
problems related to the fixed bugs, then go get it.

Jan

Is it easy to pop the cover off the AN1x?  Are there any "gotchas" 
to be aware of when replacing the EPROM?

Thanks,

Mark

WHAT kind of noise? :)

No, it's a bitch. The thing is covered with screws.

Even more than usually is the case with computer equipment, it's sensitive
to static charges. So make sure you earth yourself on the AN1x (which should
be pretty difficult, since it's a plastic case), that you don't wear shoes
or (nylon) socks, stuff like that.

Better yet, forget about it. It's not worth it.

Hey! i can make my AN1x fart, but pooping is new to me ! ;)

Too late...it's a done deal. I took an ax to my AN1x, cracked open 
the case, and now I'm v1.04.  I really didn't care for that popping 
noise (or "pooping" as earlier described) when changing the delay 
setting. :-)

Cheers,

Mark
