Re: strange repeater behavior

[Sean Echevarria <sean_@mindspring.com>]

I don't recall mention of anything like this, but I recently experienced 
something similar with the EDP and devices downstream from it.  I've done 
some rack rearranging and I think I'm running the EDP hotter than it has 
in 
the past - did some searches through the archives and it looks like I need 
to do the voltage regulator mod ('95 EDP).

At any rate, after it's been on for awhile I get corrupt MIDI data - 
eventually I traced it to the EDP MIDI thru.  Tried switching to the MIDI 
out and haven't experienced anymore MIDI problems downstream even though I 
still occasionally get the overheated-voltage-regulator-induced-noise in 
loops.  So if you have a pre-98 EDP (I think that's when the voltage 
regulators were changed), might want to try the out instead of the thru 
and 
see if that helps (assuming you have LoopIV for MIDIpipe).
