slider/knob like my D-50 used to have, but that would only fix half the
problem (the light pressure).

Which begs the question:  Does anyone on the list own a factory repair
manual for the AN1x?  If so, please contact me off-list to discuss the
schematic.  From just an overview with the back off I wasn't able to find a
way to adjust the aftertouch sensitivity.  Aftertouch is usually generated
with a strip of material which changes resistance under pressure.  A simple
modification may help this problem (which also bothers me... I love using
aftertouch for effects... you don't have to do anything but press harder
;"/   )

> Yes, unfortunately, the AT on the AN1x is pretty touchy -- too touchy for
my liking.  It both presses down too easily, and too early, for my playing
style.  I like an AT that you really have to torque down on to make it work.
