Elektron Musical Instruments

Friends,

I just got the Machinedrum directly from Sweden. The joy was soon 
over: I cannot change sounds or kits or anything...

I talked to the local assistant already, he told me to do the 
factory reset. I did so, but nothing happened. Here's what's 
happening (or what's not, so to say):
 
- I start the Machinedrum, it says KIT: INIT, AO1
- As stated in the manual, I chose another kit via KIT, move with 
the arrow keys to another KIT, press ENTER and... still the same 
sounds. I tried like 10 different kits, always the same sound.
- I cannot modify any parameter: SYTHESIS is active, BD chosen, I 
push the BD button and change i.e. the pitch value: nothing 
happens...
 
What's interesting: not every pad is connected to a sound. I don't 
have a sound on pad 4,5,8,10,11,12.
 
Didn't do much more, since I cannot even change the individual 
instrument sounds.
 
I guess this is a malfunction, since I acted as stated in the manual 
and already talked to your Swiss contact. Or am I fundamentaly 
missing something?
 
Need your help. Thanks in advance.

Mathias
