Hi, just thought I'd share.

I had been working on a choon for a few hours, and then after a bit of editing in the Sequencer section the bugger froze up.

I reset all MIDI equip, disconnected all MIDI equip, no joy.

But, I noticed that I could go into MODE OTHER and on the main screen, when I turned the dial the backlight faded up and down. As if another button was stuck down. I checked the Shift button, and yep. Everything burst back into life. :D Scared the crap outta me cause i turned everything up loud(!)
But thought that might be of some use to you if your machine freezes up.

I had just had marmalade sandwiches..... :oops:

thats scarey man, the only weird thing that happened to me with my 2500 was one night it started replaying all the samples back all distorted and full of noise. it was weird, sounded like a "ghost in the machine"...what did i do aswell as freak out ?? recorded it !!
