SDSV triggering issue

2013-10-11 by <mimountains@...>

Hi everyone.


I recently took my SDSV on the road for a month. It was great, but I started noticing a particular issue started happening:

Basically - when I would power it on, one of the Tom voices would start instantly registering an incoming trigger - even when nothing was plugged into it. When I switched through the 4 black preset buttons the red trigger LED would blink at differing rates. I removed the offending card and put it back into its slot, which sometimes temporarily caused the issue to stop.

Additionally - the Kick voice would occasionally not register any trigger at all. Everything would light up as usual, but when I started triggering it - nothing would happen. I also found that removing the card and putting it back into the slot would temporarily solve this issue.

Has anyone had the same thing happen?

Any help is appreciated.
