^So let me get this straight your saying that due to firmware updates has rendered the DSP useless and the only solution is to buy another? You say you own two machines , both have issues but you only joined the forum November 2019 and only decide to complain now ???
When in demo song mode ? What even is that , never heard of such mode not unless you mean audition , if your talking about the bug where it can hang with a constant sound , that’s nothing , who actually really uses audition buttons ? And I’ve certainly never encountered that to happen whilst making patches with an actual midi keyboard or using Multi via VC and the one I own is second hand from 2014 , I mean it’s often like people are trying to push what it is capable of , then declare it’s useless because it won’t handle the task you tried put it through just because it costs XXXX amount ....
And how complex are we talking about , I have no problems scoring complex patches or not , and as for bonkers complex that’s I key going to make life difficult sitting it in the mix...... but importantly it doesn’t “hang up” while it’s in use , I recall the only time it did have sync issues was when I stupidly didn’t sort out Selective Suspend in the usb power options , and a defective ethernet cable which would effect my audio interface in return the virus, that’s how far my trouble shooting went before opening my damaging mouth and so you see not everything has to be the fault of the virus hardware , there could something else and the poster buying another could of still quite easily just been a fluke where is other hardware is concerned or simply short straw draw , nothing and no one is perfect !
Just seems like you are throwing fuel on the fire for the sake of it , I mean if it was from a firmware update , this would be effecting everyone for a start , as for “much is swept under the carpet here” and or “I know far too many people” - that is totally false and for being sorry toward the other poster with his issue being related to yours , you do not know that his issue was related to yours either....
assumptions and assumptions like it may do unnecessary damage , out of all the members that have joined (go check) there’s only a handful with issues aside from those with having no patients to try and troubleshoot , but the majority have had their accounts since 2009 and often check back to this day with nothing bad to say about it , and yes statistically you are going to get defective units.... but most of your claims are actually false brutal
fair enough if you got an issue , there’ll be your legit cases , but you brutal are actually a fire starter , twisted fire starter.
