VS: [elektron] OS 1.12b crashes or not ?
2003-05-08 by Toni Ahvenainen
Hi, I decided to pop-in as nobody gives positive info on 1.12b OS. I've played a lot with my MD with 1.11, 1.12 and 1.12b (the MD is number 44). I did get two or three crashes with 1.11, but after then none. Absolutely not a single crash. I works as it should. On a live situtation I would trust it. Seems that you have somekind of hardware problem. Try to contact Elektron and ask them to change it. If you live somewhere like US, it should be ok to send it back as a warranty-repair and you don't have to worry about taxes. And yes, it happens, people get broken new machines from time to time with any company. Send it back and get a new one. You won't be disappointed. Toni. ps. the only time MD has worked oddly, was when I had a midi feedback loop in MD, then it would stuck. So check that also. -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- Lähettäjä: simon leclerc Vast.ott: elektron-users@yahoogroups.com Lähet.: 8.5.2003 10:52 Aihe: Re: [elektron] OS 1.12b crashes or not ? I intended to use the MD live. I spend a lot more money because i prefer hardware and they are *usually* more stable. The more i dive in to the MD adventure, the more Waldorf Attack, Ableton Live and a laptop look attractive. I so wish i'm wrong on this one... on 08/05/03 3:43 AM, endlessnessisticman at endlessnessisticman@... wrote: I have turned my MD on only last night, but I don't spend hours on it. Usually about three hours every ohter day on average. I don't get a total crash but sometimes things like the 16 buttons on the bottom dont work. Once I tried to go to mute mode and it wouldn't. But I could trigger the sounds with the buttons. The mute lights didn't go on. Other times I couldn't change between patterns. I'd press the bank letter and the bank lights wouldn't light and it couldn't change to another bank. So it seems to be with the bank letters and the 16 lights some kind of system miscommunication. Maybe it's a buffer thing. It has happened after alot of live programming and alot of action on the MD as of sequencing. This is while using all types of machines from the drums to inputs to midi machines. Really pushing the limits. I have not installed the b version. By the way, I went to the elektron site and didn't see the b version there last night. --- In elektron-users@...m, "Janne G:son Berg" <d3berg@d...> wrote: > On Thu May 08 2003, Simon <Simonvolt@v...> wrote: > > > Meanwhile, i'd like to know if MD owners > > are still experiencing crashes with > > OS 1.12b.
