Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello,

I just bought an MD one week ago. It is installed with OS 1.12 and I 
have the same problem with both leds being lit when MD is playing a 
32 step pattern.
Have you found a solution to that problem ? Did you return your MD to 
elektron ?
Do other people have the same problem with OS 1.12 ?

Thanks

RV
