Elektron Musical Instruments

After twelve months of drooling over pictures and reviews of the 
Machinedrum, I finally decided to buy one through Elektron.  I swear to 
God it blew away my expectations and I was expecting a lot.  I've only 
had it a couple of days, but I've noticed a couple of problems with it 
- I think they are defects with my box or bugs in the hardware, but I'm 
trying to figure out if anyone else has seen this before I decide 
whether to send it back or not.  Also, the problems aren't so severe 
that I can't live with them.

1) The LEDs on the bottom-right hand corner which indicate which half 
of a 32-step sequence is being played are always both lit when in a 
32-step sequence.  When I'm in a 16-step sequence, no problems - the 
16-step LED is on and both 32-step LEDs are off.  However, when playing 
back a 32-step sequence, both ALWAYS stay on regardless of what half is 
playing.  Has anyone else seen this?

2) On two occasions so far, I've had to turn off and on the box to get 
it out of some weird state.  Maybe this is just user (read: my) error, 
but it seems to get into a state where the eight knobs always act as 
though I'm in Parameter Lock mode, even if I'm not holding down any of 
the DRUM buttons.  Am I missing something here?  From what I 
understand, if no DRUM buttons are held down, then you should always be 
adjusting the global mode - correct?  I even tried resetting the 
parameter lock (ie: pushing down on the knob while holding the DRUM 
button) and it didn't seem to have any effect.

Anyway, any input would be greatly appreciated.  So far, I've had it 
for about 60 hours and I've already created a half dozen kits and I'm 
running out of pattern memory.  :)  Oh, BTW, does anyone else think 
there's not enough memory for user patterns on this thing?
