Re: [elektron] my SID has died! - please help

2004-05-20 by Andr00

I used to mess my SIDStation up from time to time when I used a variable  
voltage power supply (which would sometimes get plugged in at the wrong  
voltage. Don't do this.) It would do something similiar.

It sounds like the patch memory is corrupted and the sidstation is  
crashing when it tries to make sense of it. Since you can get into the  
system menu, use that to clear the patch memory. (System->Mem->Clear or  
something like that.) I bet it works okay after that.
