If the problems started after the OS upgrade, then try updating again!

Think about the much more expensive MPC4000 and it's bugged OS...

Solo -> IMHO useless - I prefer to use the muting in song mode (and 
there is some real bug in there - that's something that needs to be 
fixed in the OS!)

cutoff -> I've tried it after your suggestion, and you're right. You 
can't totally close the filter.
But i never noticed this lack while composing, so I guess if this is a 
"must have" feature.

And which are all the problems that affect the MD?
I have noticed a bug in muting, and a strange guy appearing randomly ;-) 
nothing else, never crashed.

Have you contacted Elektron before posting here?

Not every piece of gear manufactured works flawlessy; this is valid for 
EVERY manufacturer and EVERY kind of gear.

So, please guys, stop sending here your complaints and send your units 
back to elektron; they are nice guys and will fix your MDs as soon as 
possible.
There are many satisfied users of the MD, some have been a bit unlucky; 
but the MD is still a ROCK SOLID machine (mine at least :-).

Guys, I LOVE this machine!

I have just made a short groove only with my MD... call it a "tét a 
tét"... will post it tomorrow to show you that I'm not joking and some 
MD just work fine :-)
