Hello !

Do you have other lazy LEDs on your synth ? No?
Go to a 2 scene patch like the factory "Great Morph"( nr 74) , move the 
mod wheel and listen.... you must hear a progressive changing sound . 
Then push only one "scene" button , you must hear only one of the 
sounds, try the other one and finally push both buttons together . If 
all is OK, you'll have to check the connectors inside the AN1X , unplug 
and plug them carefully . Of course the connectors related to the 
control panel . On the worst case you will have to change the LEDs but 
it's rather strange that both fail at the same time....
Concerning the "scene" LEDs they are sometimes "flashing" when you play 
but without any effect on sound or anything else.

It's the same on AN1X. When you load a patch one or both "scene" LEDs 
are lit depending on the patch. Pushing a "scene" button will enter in 
"edit" mode (see on the display).
The software revision has nothing to do with the control panel and (as 
far as i know) is still available as an EPROM by Yamaha customer service...
