Well mine sounded just shit, the only thing hot where my ears,
because even the main-volume pot & I/O knob(front) froze. So all 16 
sequences played at once. That nearly gave me a hart-attack ;)

Yesterday, it locked up because of that, but I knew about midi 
feedback so i turned midi thru off in Cubase.

Tried that but with no result.

The thing is: I haven't been recording any CC information, I just 
used 2 arp's, 2&4 pole filters. (say light weight presets)

since i havn't recorded any CC messages it wouldn't be necessary
to thin them (am i right???)

Thanx all, i post any findings and will start praying it will never 
freeze in summer (i mean: during a liveset)
