One day a few months ago my Monomachine would freeze every so often I 
had to soft reset it every single time.  It would either freeze during 
boot or during playback.  At that point i was ready to send an email to 
Elektron and see if i could get it fixed, but it hasn't had that problem 
ever since... weird eh?
