RE: [analogue-sequencer] CHK FAIL = 2681

It means the boot-time checksum calculated from the main program is
incorrect - one or more bytes in the flash ROM must have become corrupt.
So long as the bootloader code is unaffected, re-loading the OS by sysex
should fix it.
If the bootloader is affected (not very likely), I can usually erase the
whole chip and re-flash it.
That would mean brief holiday for your CPU in Scotland.
