Elektron Musical Instruments

well, hello.

just had to post the mandatory i-am-new-here-post.

I got my sidstation a month ago, and i can say that i am more than 
satisfied. This is my first 'real' synth, so the whole programming-
thing is kind of new to me. I have a Roland RS-09 too, and it doesn't 
need much programming, or, you can't program it much.

I have heard so much about the fantastic modulation-possibilities 
that lies within the sidstation, and i have experimented a bit. You 
can truly cook up some freaky sounds through them.

And another thing, it surprises me that there are none(that i know 
of) sites dedicated to the sidstation except Elektron's own, i find 
this rather strange, this has to be corrected!

Well got to go and play around with my

            +03
            +07
            +00
      Loop
table.

    wheeeeee.

    h3rr_fu aka. Andars.

Currently I'm using a (battery powered) CZ-101 to control my SidStation.

When I turn the CZ on, the first MIDI signal that the SidStation recieves
from it seems to be causing it to reboot.  The opening animation plays
jumpily, pausing every few frames.

Turning the SidStation on after the CZ or sending a signal before the main
menu comes up has sometimes worked, sometimes not.  Sometimes it reboots
several times in a row before I can get it to play a note.

I'm using OS1.11, R34.

Any ideas what's going on?

I've seen the same thing happen if I've got the SID attached to my PC (via
E-MU APS Midi In) and I shutdown cakewalk after I've used it to send midi to
the SID.  I actually have to turn the SID Off&On again to get it back up.

I try not to do that much :}

hello jim,
	
	i asked this very same question awhile ago.  Danniel never really 
decided to anwser why it does this, but an Aaron mentioned that it's 
mainly due to the hardware, which Danniel decided to address instead, 
it's message 980.  When mine does this (intermitently) i usually can 
just hit d on the keypad a few times and it's back to norml.  The cz 
has nothing to do with it, i'm sure.
