Elektron Musical Instruments

I have been having the same problem! 

most frustrating, it is intermittent, and quite unpredictable in frequency - 
sometimes it will work flawlessly for several hours, at other times it may only be a few 
minutes between crashes. most often, the machine appears to reset - as though the 
power was briefly interrupted - at other times it may lock up, paying no attention to 
any input. self diagnostics are OK and I suspect from the symptoms that it does have 
to do with the power supply. I noticed that MD uses an AC transformer, rather than 
the usual DC - perhaps fluctuations in line voltage are causing damage & errors! If so, 
this is a serious problem, as the quality of line voltage varies enormously at 
different venues, and I don't have the budget for a serious line conditioner.

I have just asked elektron about the issue...
