Elektron Musical Instruments

I have had mine for about 5 months and it simply just crashes all the time
and i'm getting really sick of it, the MD is a seriously flawed piece of
gear, i'm tired of giving it the benefit of the doubt, it's noisy, you
cannot pan anything loud with a long decay without weird aliasing,  the
seperate outs all still too noisy to use realistically in a recording
situation, and it crashes all the time, which means you have to flick the
power on and off soft reboot it, redo all your global settings all the time
(at least once a day for me)  and then have it freeze up again.  I actually
think it is because of the  pattern retrig a1-a16  that the freezes are
coming from.  it is such an annoying default feature to have c4 and other
keys trigger the first 16 patterns on the MD when you have it synced to a
ext sequencer and MidiMachines and whatnot on the go, then go and reset them
all again and wait for a couple hours and soon it will freeze up and need to
be soft reset again, if you're lucky like me, one time when it freezes and
you turn it back on again, ALL YOUR PATTERNS AND PROGRAMS WILL BE GONE!  5
months work gone forever, i have old backups but had a month1/2s  worth of
new and modified kits all gone, and why? because the os is buggy as hell and
no one seems to know why. i own 3 pieces of gear and 2 are by elektron, but
i am becoming less and less impressed by the day with them......

Hello everyone...
I've had my MD for about a month now, and although I love it
feature and sound wise, it has been crashy.....At first I thought I
was in midi feedback/junk sysex land, but, it has crashed without
any midi hooked up to it at all..Crashed=stops making sound,
drum keys unresponsive, must reboot to fix.....
  Does anyone else have these problems? Is the MD just crashy
in general, or do I have a lemon.....BTW, I have 1.11
installed........I have contacted Elektron, but no answer....Must be
busy. Anyway let me know any thoughts on the issue......
Cheers, Jeremy
