New ROM does not transmit midi when local off - confirmed

Re: New ROM does not transmit midi when local off - confirmed

Thanks for checking, Ed. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

I've recently been using the Seq/Arp with my sampler much more often
than I use to and it's a minor nuisance having to change Local
setting etc. No big deal.

A new ROM version doesn't give you any new features, so unless you
AN1x ROM is broken or blown up, you don't need one anyway.

The new O/S ROM

2000-09-28 by Phil

Hi All,

I too am very curious about the O/S ROM upgrade....

The thing I don't understand is, why isn't *everyone* affected by the
problems related to the old version? Shouldn't we all be needing the update?
Or, were some of the chips faulty, in which case simply a chip replacement
(still containing the old version) would suffice.

***For those experiencing "old O/S bugs": How long did it take for the
problems to rear their ugly heads?

I'm sort of thinking of getting the chip just for safety's sake - just in
case a problem arises in 5 year's time - and Yamaha are saying "An1
what???"!

Does anyone know anything more???

Cheers everyone,

Phil

Re: The new O/S ROM

2000-09-28 by jondl@jdlx-musique.com

I've had my AN1x v1.02 for nearly two years now with no sign of any
significant bugs - not even a battery low warning ;-) There are a
couple of design "limitations" (IMHO) I'd change but those don't
qualify as bugs. And half of the changes I'd want would have driven
up the MSRP so it's trade off :-/

The *only* problem I've had - and it was repaired by Yamaha under
warranty - was that nasty 'popping' and 'clicking' sound at power-up
that affected so many AN1x's back then (24+ months ago.) Being a
hardware issue that problem probably would have only grown worse over
time.

Let's face it, the AN1x is relatively bug free (OS problems.) I don't
worry much about the OS ROM upgrade but if it's a nagging concern for
you - call or email Yamaha and solicit the EPROM chip (just as Ed
did.) At least you'll have peace of mind that you're on the current
version. :-)

regards,
Jon

You don't need the new ROM. It doesn't change anything you will notice.
Believe me, I got it and it made no difference.

I can't have new ROM where I live in korea.

There's no information about it, so I want to way to get it.

Who know anyother way?
