Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,
excuse me if I repeat some ideas, but I could not find our group in
Yahoo groups.
I had also the restart problem and posted already a message with
remedies given by the MD service (reset the machine, install last
system ...) but all this had only a marginal effect.
Following the discussion we had I looked at the specifications of the MD
and the Power supply in the user manual and what did I find:
MD power consumption: 15W
Power supply: 6V 2A = 12 W

Therefore I bought a 20W tranformer (despite the warnings of ELECTRON
not to touch at the supply) and used it as a new power supply and all
my restart problems had gone.
It would be interesting to know the ideas of Electron service.

Hope it can help

G. Z.
