The first thing I have to say is send this list to elektron.  I think
it's info@....  The email is on their support page.

I haven't noticed this but I have noticed strange LED behavior from
time to time.  Like how they should blink in the sequence.

I haven't experienced this.  Maybe it is a voice limitation on your
other synths?  I have notice strange behavior with my ms2000.

I have experienced this only recently.  I have no idea however.

This has happened to me mostly when I copy and paste notes.  It has
happened another way but I don't remember.  Annoying none the less.

This is your MIDI mapping in the Global menu.  Answered above.

Try turning your input level down.  This is the first parameter on the
top left of the machine.  Yea, it seems noisy and somewhat weak.

My MS2000 does too but only if I'm running a sequence from the midi
machine and play more notes on top of them using the keys from a
Virus.  I thought it could be because of my daisy chain.  Do you have
a long midi chain?

I haven't noticed this.  It does happen if I accidently hit classic
and freakout.

I haven't reset my machine, ever.  I have had to turn it off and on
many times.  Remember to send this to Elektron with more explanation
about when these things occur.
