Just some notes to the problems some people have expressed in here
lately...

As of OS1.02 there should be no _major_ bugs in the Monomachine. It is
well tested by some hundereds of users, and if there were some fatal
bugs I think we should have known about them. There might be a few
oversights, and the best you can do is to make a full dump of the
memory, send it to support@... together with a detailed
description on how to recreate the problem. We should then pretty
quickly be able to see if it's a bug or something else, and if it is a
bug indeed we should be able to track it down easily if we can
recreate it.

What is useful to solve problems is to reset the memory to factory
default or empty. What is not useful is to reinstall the same OS
again. That will not make any difference whatsoever. The flash never
get corrupted, and even if it did you would notice it much more than
just a strange bug.

The problems that some people expressed sounds like they slipped on
the trig track-button down to the right, and programmed a track with
perhaps only the amp active. The pattern would then sound more or less
right as it is programmed (only that the filter env and lfo is never
trigged). But when it is changed to from another pattern the machines
will never load, as a full trig (amp, filter and lfo) is needed to
load a machine. So, if you trig the tracks by hand and then press play
it would sound ok again, but not until then. Check if this is the case
by selecting trig track "ALL", and then enter grid recordoing mode.
The first trig of the tracks should be red, indicating that it is a
full trig that will load the machine. If it is green only part ofthe
trig tracks are trigged, and the machine will not be loaded. Press the
corresponding key in trig track "ALL" in grid recording mode to set
all trig tracks! Hope this solves some problems...

As for the production quality... The front plate is still produced at
the same factory in Sweden. Only the final assembly is made in
Estonia. The case can vary a little from unit to unit, as it is hand made.
