Re: Technical problem with unit, or known issue / glitch?

2006-01-04 by james_p2213

Thanks Melvin, but I don't really want to do that, I really need it 
to work properly .. Re Cimple Solutions' messages (Akai recommended 
them, and they don't seem to want to touch it with a barge pole!!) 
I'm not convinced that the interpolator is broken - does anyone else 
have any experience of this fault/issue?  Unit cost me £100 and don't 
think I can get my money back - I expect spares will be hard to come 
by also .. apart from this niggle, everything is fine!  Came with 
manulas and everything!!

ANY suggestions from anyone would be most helpful..  PLEASE!
