You most likely sent too much MIDI too fast and caused the EX-800 to overwrite the patch memory due to an uncontrolled stack overflow. The result is that the

Welcome Alexis, For rotary knobs, you need a good zero-residue cleaner. Rotary pots don’t need a lubricant. Use it sparingly and don’t get it on the paint

Back in the day, I had that same problem. With me, it was a hardware problem, not a very complicated fix as I remember.

If all voltages are OK, then problem is in different part of instrument. Still I d suppose it s hardware, not software problem. I m quite sure more experienced

Sorry to all the Juno fans out there, but I don’t think the 106 has much going for it. The only reason I think it might be worth more than a DW-8000 is
