This is very easy to fix. Some way the memory has become garbled, so
you'll need to reset it. Go to SYSTEM->MEMORY-RESET and it should be up
and running again. This will erase your samples, so you might want to
try
dumping them first (DumpAll). If that does not work none of your patches

is there anymore, so just go ahead and erase the memory. Then upload the

presets that you will find on our website.

The memory can be garbled when the power to the SidStation is
flickering.
Watch out if you're using an external switch to turn it on/off.
