When I turn the preset nob starting from the physical 1 or 'reflection', it shows: 01, 02, 03, 04, 08, 07, 07, 08, 08, 07, 14, 13, 13, 14, 14, 13 Hence, it skips 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 (when I power down and up, this is consistent) When I use the power-up sequence below, the display says 'd' after step 2. Turning the nob doesn's show OC, but pressing Reg/Preset does. Still this doesn't clear the problem. It doesn’t appear to be just a display problem either, because the three 07s are the same patch, rather than the same number assigned to a different patch. This is very unfortunate. I can't seem to get the Clear function to resolve the problem either.

If the latter, then it sounds like some of your registers have been "cleared", a Vortex feature which allowed you to select just your favorite patches and "skip" the others, since the Vortex didn't have MIDI patch access, so you have to step up or down in sequence. The reset should clear all that out. If it is random, than it sounds like your rotary encoder (the dial) is failing, which is the most common Vortex hardware problem.
