Subject: RE: [motm] MOTM-650 bug reporting time

From: "John L Rice" <Drummer@...>
Date: 2009-08-20

Thanks Paul, I'll try to get some debug time in this weekend.

Two bugs I encountered that you didn't mention below (and I'll give exact
details on in a few days, this is from memory) are:

1) setting the glide rate too fast and then playing the keyboard quickly
over a several octave range can cause the CV output to become erratic

2) sending certain patch changes from a Yamaha RM1X to the MOTM-650 can
cause it the 650 to lock up
