Elektron Musical Instruments

Keep us posted.  I have very similar issues that I just blew off as 
o.s. bugs or quirks with the device.  But I've had issues with the 
mono crashing a computer (only connection was midi out) and the mono 
freezing almost sparking! when connected in a standard midi loop to 
my macbeth.  As soon as I plugged in the midi out (no sequences or 
notes playing) the macbeth started squealing and the whole studio 
freaked for a minute.  I had to reboot the mono 3 times for it to 
work again.  Now that I'm thinking of it, I tried a sysex dump once 
and it failed.  Didn't really need to dump so I haven't tried again.  
Plus I tried to download the new o.s. at the same time and it failed -
 locked the mono.  All this occurred with the same computer hookup so 
I just blamed the PC (damn wintel boxes!).  Hearing these recent 
stories, I'm convinced some of the monos have issues with their midi 
outs - seems like some electrical crosstalk after what it did to the 
macbeth.
