Elektron Musical Instruments

I've experienced the same thing.  Blanking out the default settings of Bank
A Midi Mapping will cause it to crash.  Elektron told me this is a known
issue and supposedly will have a fix for it in the the next OS release
(whenever that will be).  Whenever I have encountered a crash of this sort,
I will boot to the system menu and do a 'Soft Reset'.  I will retain my
patterns and kits but all my Global Settings will be initialized so beware.
