ive had my 2500 for a couple of weeks now and last night it crashed on me and i had to turn it off/on again. I thought it was just because i had been using it for 5 hours straight and it needed to cool down, but it has done it numerous times since then with very little use.
It happens when I'm in grid edit mode and i press over dub + play. The screen goes smudgy and then it restarts itself and the "128MB Installed" welcome screen appears again.
It doesn't happen all the time, just after i use it for a little while. I always know when its gunna happen cuz when i enter grid edit mode the notes that are there (and playing) aren't there anymore. wierd.

Anyone know what's up?

I thought i might just been loading too much up at once, my current track is like 40MB with loads of samples and sequences in it, but i dunno?

cheers.

That's weird! My 2500 restarts itself sometimes when I'm trying to trim samples! So I feel his pain! If anyone knows the reason behind this and how to fix it, PLEASE let me know! It doesn't happen alot, but usually when it happens, I'll be half way done with a beat and I lose EVERYTHING! And I'm sure the rest of you producers know how frustrating that can be right?
