The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I've never replaced the battery and actually I don't really care about it either, but thanks anyway. The patches are still in there if I keep it plugged in. Besides, I rarely save any patches, I just tweak it and often sample the result (sacrilege?, yeah maybe).

Jonas,

Have you ever replaced the backup battery?  They're only good for 8-10 
years under the best of circumstances, especially on older equipment (more 
drain on the battery).  I don't think you could find a ten-year-old JUNO-106.

Actually, neither of my first two synths -- a Yamaha CS-10 (?) and a Roland 
JUNO-6 -- had patch save capabilities, and in many ways, I was a better 
programmer for it.  I used to use 15-20 different sounds on the Yamaha each 
night, and I never made the band wait more than 10-15 seconds between songs 
to do so.  I just learned how to find an "intermediate" setting that 
wouldn't leave me too far from any sound I needed, and at the end of each 
song, I set the synth to that sound, unless I knew what was coming next.

Storing patches is convenient, but it also leads to not really 
understanding programming as well as one might.

As far as the sampling, well ... let's leave that one for another day!  ;^)
