FW: sick sidstation

2001-07-25 by Jason Vernon Starnes

Hey everybody.  Thanks for the updates about the MD: keep 'em coming.  As I
impatiently await mine (it just got thru New York, but I'm on the West
coast), I've been sessioning my Sidstation, basking in the classic sound and
thoughtful design of the box.  Right in the middle of tweaking the other
nite though, the sound sputtered out.  Now all I get is noise, synced to
anything flashing on the screen, and making a nice zippery noise when I turn
a knob.
I've reset and reloaded patches, but nothing seems to work.
I was running sound thru the filter at the time, and I've heard stories of
people frying their chips with excessive volume, but this was simply a loop
through a delay, then into the sid.  Anyone out there know what the symptoms
are of having overloaded the input?  I seem to have heard these noises
before during a previous crash, but I'm not sure.  Would reloading the OS be
the next step?  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for all the contributions to this great list.
cheers,
Jason
