Elektron Musical Instruments

Under normal circumstances i would be a little upset but seeing as the 
quality of the synth is so cool and unusual i kind of let it off....My power 
unit is an quite expensive 1
thats fine.i think it's just that the connector that pushes in.....its a 
little lose but definately the correct size.It's a question of some bluetack 
or a powersupply from elektron i think.....

Strangely though i had another minor error earlier which may be 
different.....when trying to
save sysex data of sounds programmed it's fine in single patch export mode 
but exports nothing(nothing when you try and load the patches back into the 
sid) when you go to save the entire memory....when you import the 'saved 
memory' it locks and patch one shows a patch with kind of smily faces 
?whilst all the rest of the patches are empty.....ps i have not taken lsd 
for some time or hollucinagenics (nice spelling)maybe i need some!

Its fine in single mode so i'm not to bothered....
