Re(2): [elektron] DeadStation

>damn it! I can't help but love it though!

 I had the same problem, but i stated to work stable after i resolder the
AC connectorplugcabel on the inside of the sidstation!

remember that those units are handsoldered and there are room for errors,
nomather how good the elektron duudes are (and the really are!).

also, the first 100 units will blow its memory if you spank it with too
much power. i recommend a surgeprotector, when i had my installed on the
SidStation it stopped to crash ljust like "that". Before my surgeprotector
my sidstation blew it's memory 1-2 times every week and on every liveset
:-/
Now with the surge-thing it hasn't gone down a single time!!!!

Also, you could send the machine back to elektron and have them to install
a magic diode wich should help out in the same way!

anyway, after fixing this up, everything is just beatiful!
