Question 1: Do you leave the unit on all the time?  Without saving patches?

Question 2: Do you shut the door to the "synth room"?  That's all I had to
do.

We had a cat who loved the keyboard so much that he would lie on the top
octave of the piano while my son practiced.  We think he liked the sound,
vibrations, AND the feeling of the keys on his stomach!
Therefore:  No cats allowed in synth room.  Period.
