  I just want to clarify some things concerning the nuclear explosion issue.

  This is something I can´t garantee you, but my experience is that the SID-chip isn´t all that sensitive to nuclear
  explosions. In most cases you should have no problem using your sidstation after it has suffered a nuclear impact. 

  But if your chip/sidstation has been exposed to a nuclear explosion, always test it afterwards (a standard MIDI-keyboard should do just fine for this kind of test). 

  Don´t get me wrong, I´m not saying that you should run around and toss your sidstation into every nuclear explosion you encounter. All I´m saying is this: No one I know of has lost his/her SID-chip/sidstation in a nuclear explosion.

  (I couldn´t help my self...)

Mind though, our tests have showed us that you might need to reset it
after a nuclear impact. For one reason or the other, the patch memory
gets messed up then. This might be a bug and I think Elektron should do
more testing on this nasty little bug. ;-)

That's just it, no one you know happens to have had one wrecked in a
nuclear explosion but I bet it would damage them, the warning wouldn't be
put on there if it wasn't necessary :)

Sorry, but I thought this was serious enough to warn people about :)
