The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi all,

Just dropping to say that my outputs, at times, have severely dropped in
output. Like about a tenth of the normal volume. Maybe this has happened
half a dozen times? Solution has always been to switch off, then back on
again. Haven't pinpointed the exact cause, but it always seems to have
occurred on patches that are quite loud in themselves. I may have 'clipped'
or overloaded something along the way.

I also had the 'snap', 'crackle', and 'pops' when I first got it. I put it
down to to something becoming corrupt when switching the synth off while it
was still playing (eg. the long sustain of a pad). It would only affect the
current patch (plus one or two others) but the rest of the synth would be
fine. Eventually, even the corrupted patches would come good (after warming
up?). Anyway, it's not happened for years since ensuring everything is
silent before powering down.

This is conspicuously similar to the behavior exhibited with
the "old" problem of audible 'popping and clicking' sound at start-
up - until the unit reached a normal operating temperature (jokes and
comparison to a REAL analog will ensue...) I'm speculating, i.e., not
fact - just opinion, that the problem with your AN1x is related to
the other known problem.

Of course, I could be wrong. ;-)

Did you reinitialize your AN1x as suggested? This has been known to
clear seemingly random acts of strange behavior in the AN1x. Isn't
the key command '7+8+9' while powering the unit up? Then it should
prompt you with a selection of init options - just choose ALL and
reply YES.

Peter K. - if you're following this thread - what was the weirdness
your AN1x displayed. Didn't you have something along these lines or
just the 'popping & clicking' problem?
