Elektron Musical Instruments

hi andy,

please let me know how you get on with your sidstation, my machine  
has developed the same

symptoms...display corrupted and all leds are lit.

My waldorf xt is sick as well... finding a repair centre is proving  
difficult..

These , and other older hardware synths are ( as proposed  in a  
recent sound on sound article ) - timebombs !

Out of warranty , difficult or impossible to get spares and/or  
extremely expensive if you do..

They are just ticking away ready to let us down at any moment !


Aaaargh !

marc
