So, I've been loving the recent edition of a MD to my studio -- guess it came in the mail during the last week of December. It's always worked flawlessly...not even a hiccup. Since spending enough time with the MD to realize the power of parameter locks, it has added a layer of depth to my work that I don't think could easily be replaced. That being said, I'm very angry at my MD right now. My first live gig in 6 months...wasn't even a real gig, just playing a set between two DJ's...was supposed to provide a chiller, ambient vibe. I had the Voyager set-up and switched on the MD -- and it stuck on the start-up screen, with the version...1.2.1 (I think ??) on the lower right side. It then booted up, only to restart after about 5 seconds and continued this cycle. This may seem like a silly question, but how much do your power cables move when connected to the MD? That's my first guess....that it has a bad connection b/c something's loose. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that the MD never turned off and back on, rather is just restarted over and over. I was very embarrassed. Luckily, the VJ also performed using Live, so he loaded up some beats and I improvised for an hour with the Voyager. We had a DJ scratch-in for a bit, and I think it came off without people knowing something wasn't as planned. So, that's good. But, the problem remains with the MD. Any thoughts or experiences with such a problem?
