Elektron Musical Instruments

Dunno about that problem in particular but I did manage to fix some strange
tempermental 'accoustic' behaviour on the SID (most of the patches involving
tables weren't playing correctly). 

My fix involved flashing the SID to the default patch bank with a sysex
utility. Note that you ***MUST*** use the sysex patch and ***NOT*** the midi
version. Using the midi version did absolutely nothing to fix my problem. 

You may have already tried this but I thought it worth mentioning for anyone
experiencing abnormal behvaiour with the SID. Here are the steps...

1) Download/install sendsx 32 from here:
http://www.bome.com/midi/sendsx/

2) Download/unzip default patch bank here:
http://www.sidstation.com/sidsupport.php

3) Run sendsx

4) Configure sendsx with midi out device/channel

5) Load the default patch bank (*.syx) file into sendsx

6) Click send sysex and pray

I'm doing these steps from memory so they may be slightly off.

Good luck and thank god someone is finally talking about something other
than machine drum :-)

Does anyone know what the solution is for a SidStation that switches 
on, receives MIDI data for about five seconds and then resets of its 
own accord? It's been doing this for about a week, whenever I try to 
use it.
