The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello,

the battery is low on my AN1X does it means I only loose 
the memory of edited patch after turn off 
or there is more serious things happening when is low ? 

in typical Murphy's law it happened as soon as I close 
the AN1x (and its damm 33 screws ) after along time 
of testing I gave up my idea of putting 2 pots and a switch on the case 
to replicate the 2 foot pedal and the sustain sw 

I admit I didn't have much patient and time but a plain soldering 
on the 3 contact of pedals and sw didn't work ( 
and it was a pain to disassemble the all AN1X 
i have seen better synth-inside :-) 

.. more news www.dopepfer.de has finally a nice template for AN1X 
for my drehbank   64 knobs to edit sound on bank 1 and 64 to edit 
sequences on bank 2.. cool .. .! 

  
and ... the VCS3 ohhh ahhhh yummm 
one of the wonder of all time !
not to forget also Klaus Schultze as great user !!

Doubtful. Are you certain the battery is actually low? One of the 
bugs fixed by the OS v1.04 EPROM was a bogus' battery low' 
warning message. On the upside, battery replacement should 
be a fairly trivial task - aside from having to remove those many 
screws.
