Re: Dark Energy not responding to midi

2013-02-04 by Robert Crouch

Yes I did. The problem is fairly consistent where it received midi fine until it's been plugged in for a while, then it just stops. I have to unplug it for anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes before it starts working again.

I should probably send it to Analogue Haven and have them look at it.
