The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

hello

i just recieved an an1x about 3 days ago.. and it is making this awful 
popping/feedback anytime and everytime i hit a key, or when i just sit there 
staring at it. either way it makes this pop... i have read the archives on 
this, but i don' think there is anyway i can get this fixed from yamaha.. so 
here's the question, could a normal music store fix this problem assuming 
they knew exactly was wrong, or am i out of luck.. thanks everyone, great 
group here.

Welcome. Several of us have experienced this. There are ways around 
it. It was discussed in this thread:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/message/5285

Briefly, it seems to happen to "morph" patches  (i.e. when both scene 
buttons are lighted) expecially on cold days. The post explains what 
I do to get around the problem. Please let me know if this doesn't 
work for you. There may be something else.....

Cheers,

Jerry

I don't understand - why do you say  "i don' think there is anyway i 
can get this fixed from yamaha.. "?

I suppose it's feasible - depending on what the faulty component 
might be. I suspect mainboard repairs would need to be 
addressed by Yamaha at one of their facilities.

thank you.. i selected both the scenes and toggled the modulation 
wheel, and i still have this headache.. i left it on for about an 
hour and then tried again, and still have the popping/feedback.. jon 
jerry.. any other suggestions? does yamahamusicusa have a phone# or 
anything i can try calling, i have e-mailed them, but i feel as if 
the response time will be undetermined.

I've emailed YCA on more than one occasion. I would typically 
receive an automated reply acknowledging my question is in 
their queue and a proper reply followed within 24 hours.

When I had my AN!x serviced to correct the 'popping and 
crackling' bug my now-defunct and out of business ex-vendor 
was giving me fits in regards to having the board serviced. I 
called Yamaha myself and they were extremely helpful. In the 
AN1x Owner's Manual, following the Index, is a list of addresses 
and numbers for Yamaha. I called the 714.522.9011 number for 
Yamaha in CA. Since I'm on the east coast shipping and 
handling added two weeks to the whole affair. I've had no 
problems since then (going on 4 years now.)

regards,

Jon
