Daniel, would I fix the garbage data in RAM by pulling the battery again to do a reset? Thanks for the help :) If everyone is following along I have cooled down a bit from the early surprise. It is close but I feel like I am missing something simple gaaarrrrgh haha. It did actually make sounds prior to this but I will say that when I messed with the balance to build a sound, Generator 1 was really nasty with almost FM style distortion-that nasally high buzz one gets with high resonance and open cutoff in FM synthesis. Generator 2 was what I would consider "normal" in that it produced tones without artifacts and consistent throughout the playable range with stable tones :) I would be fine with it the way it is. That is what got me so hard about this, should have quit while I was ahead lol. Let me know what you think about the battery reset. I will do some tinkering tonight.
