Re: [elektron] OS 1.12b crashes or not ?

2003-05-08 by simon leclerc

Elektron did get back to me, and quickly
when i emailed them the first time.
But we did not talk about this problem,
the OS  problem came later.

Now i'm verifying the PSU, i'm trying
different electrical set-up.
Elektron got back to me quickly
again and the PSU could well be
the problem. So far it hasnt
change a thing but  it seems
logic cause it does not look like an OS
issue nor a hardware one.

Going directly  to the power source
seems logic.

Sounds like a first MD song
;)

I am sure you wrong !!!!!
MD is the machine and the sequencer is very usefull. I am sure that
elektron will fix this problem, but you say you didn't heard anything
from them. Did you try to call them? Over here in germany we have some
predial-numbers which make an fardistancecall not to a moneyproblem
anymore.
I think the Attack is also a great device, but the VSTI-Attack is all
i need, and it is much easier to create new sound on it, because it
has more knobs. But i love Synthmachines with there own sequencer, i
also have the Future Retro 777, MPC2000XL, Q, Evolver, X-Base09, Karma
and i use the Doepfer Schaltwerk together with the Voyager. I will
also buy the monomachine, just because of the sequencer-options.
SoftwareSeauencer are nice, but i can work bettter with Hardware.
....try to call elektron.
