Elektron Musical Instruments

Did it only happen at that location? Does it ever happen at home? If
it was only at that gig, I would venture to guess that the problem is
a dirty power line.

I know that my MD did the same thing back at my old place, but at my
new location I have not experenced it once. You might want to pick up
one of those devices that give you a clean power line.
