Speaking of which...

Can the tech guys here enlighten me regarding the program selector 
switches? I _guess_ the four switches end up at the same IC which opens 
the selected path... My hihat card works great upon startup if I stay 
with the factory preset. If I choose anything else it turns weird. 
Sometimes it plays some odd form of mix of all the presets but mostly 
it's just a lame and dull sound coming out. The LEDs either light up all 
or none. After fiften minutes or so it works as it should. It might be a 
bad soldering joint since heat might help...

I dug out the schematics and looking at that crappy copy it looks as if 
the IC2 (14556) might be the culprit. IC1 is a 4013 btw. Any input from 
you soldering guys?
