Many thanks, Jon.

I should have looked a bit harder!

Looks like I'm just unlucky. I'm going to keep an eye on it and hope it
doesn't get any worse.

Cheers,

Neil.

Hi Neil,

I purchased my AN1x around three years ago and within a month I was back at
the store complaining about the snap, crackle, and pops - only to be told it
was a known issue, and nothing could be done. (I've since learnt it's likely
a matter of an OS update - see archive, or Jon's advice).

One thing that seemed to be apparent is the crackles were related to patches
I'd recently been playing with. From a few tests, it appeared that if my
AN1x was switched off while still audible (such as the long sustain of a
string patch, or an ongoing arp or step sequence performance), the patch
became corrupted during power down.

No-one on the list has confirmed my observations, but by ensuring the synth
is silent before shutting down, I haven't haven't experienced a crackle
since.

Coincidence? Who knows, but worth a try.

Excellent....I bought mine about a year ago...never experienced the popping until about a month ago (or maybe I heard some of it once or twice but it went away right after warmup).

Then it started happening. I had an inkling (i.e. a small bit of ink...no...just kidding) that it seemed to me related to the preset it was on when I had turned it off. But I never got that far...sounds like you found the problem!

Cool!

Good work!

Jim
