Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey Tony,I have EXACTLY the same problem...I have a big set-up and 
everything worked normal until I put my MnM in the chain...My Yamaha DX-200 
regularly locks-up (midi-error) ... very strange as I have a midi-patchbay 
en de MnM and DX200 have separate midi-channels/cables....
Anyone got a clue? I remember I had that problem also with V1.70 but now 
with V1.80 it's more prominent....
