yeah i've been following your posts, joseph. unfortunately, i haven't 
had any experiences that would help you out. my 101 has locked up on me 
before, but it was when i was using the incorrect ac adapter. everyonce 
in awhile it will change patches or lock up during a groove. i haven't 
been able to determine the reasons, but turning the prg change parameter 
off solves the  patch change problem. the lock-up-during-a-sequence 
problem still happens on the odd occasion. i think both these problems 
are a midi transmission thing and not a fault with the 101 at all. 
sounds like your getting some good help here, tho'. which is what it's 
all about. if the problem persists, you might want to try the 
vintagesynthrepair group. they mostly deal with older analog synths, but 
i have seen a few posts regarding digital synths. i think the 101 is old 
enough to be considered vintage.
good luck,
shayne
