If you turned it back on quickly enough, before it had fully powered down, you could have the processor come up in a weird state. (reminds me of when I was a kid and my brother and i would do that intentionally with our atari video games. sometimes the games would come up in bizarre states that were fun to play with....) > He then put in a >'fast blow' fuse and it seems to work fine. that doesn't mean it's fixed. >This troubles me and I'm considering returning the unit, as I would hate >to have this occur in performance. Any advice? Heard of this before? I haven't heard of any problem, but shit happens, which is why you put fuses in stuff like this. Better to have the fuse go when there is a problem than a microprocessor! You might want to have a more knowledgeable tech take a look at it. (a tech who deals with a blowing fuse by replacing it with a slo-blo is not one I would go back to...) or contact Oberheim to have it checked out at the factory. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
