The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

i had a problem with my ribbon controller about half a year ago.  i 
hadn't been using the ribbon much in the weeks before i noticed my 
ribbon didn't work at all.  then all of a sudden i realized it wasn't 
working, i didn't think to do a reset nor did i talk to anyone about 
it.  i just figured it had died prematurely(i may have told this story 
before to the list...i dunno).  so i called my nearest yamaha service 
center and took it over.  explained what was wrong, and there it 
stayed for 2 weeks.  they didn't start calling me until i left a 
message as to the progress they were making.  so la la, i finally get 
ahold of the tech, and he tells me that it was some sort of os mess 
up, cause after resetting it, it works fine(he gave me the 
advice...back up...and reset, i did neither, lost a lot of original 
patches :().  i go down there, amidst the mess of the most analog 
equipment i've ever seen in my life in one place, my an1x lay.  it 
works fine now, i feel embarased...since they didn't actually do any 
physical work i got charged a holding fee of like 40 bucks...and to 
top it off they broke off my power switch.  it glued on fine, but it 
has made me think twice about taking things into get fixed.  so a 
reset solved that.  recently i had the aftertouch on the an1x freak 
out....it just kept on spitting out aftertouch messages.  a reset also 
fixed this as well.  good luck
