Poly Evolver Rack wiped clean

2009-04-01 by ubiquitousblack

Turned on the rack a few days ago to find each and every prog & combi were non-existant.  

First I tried to make any blank number patch create a sound to no avail.

Second I loaded sounds which didn't work either but found the last sound loaded (via midi-ox, Soundtower software and Sound-diver) overwrote every other sound when trying to access any other sound by the dial or via midi, very weird and still no sound was produced.

**Last, I reloaded the system files per Dave Smith Instruments files and steps and it works again, hurrah.

BTW, my poly rack is hooked up to a belkin power strip which is in turn hooked up to a 120Volt output transformer with a +/-1.3% voltage so no grounding nor voltage issues.

Just putting it out there in case it happens to anyone else.
