New setup ? Possible MIDI loop. Or a problem with your controller. Try a different configuration or controller...

(1) Are the presets from ROM or User RAM? (2) If they are from User RAM, were they originally designed for a ROM that you don't have? (3) If so, make sure all the peset parameters are valid.* (I have had a lock up like the one you describe when adapting presets from different ROMS.) *Scroll through Preset parameters an look for ????. examples: LINK 1 PRESET ???

I've had this happen (or something very similar) on a few occasions with my PX-7. I think it is a MIDI problem, as it (my problem) gets solved every time with a MIDI-all-off (pressing MIDI and HOME/ENTER at the same time). And, as mentioned, it could be my controller (because at the moment I'm using an old CZ-101 I had lying around). --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "Bob S." <tttsystems@...> wrote: > > New setup ? > > Possible MIDI loop.

I agree with others' diagnostic suggestions: --Make sure it is not a midi loop lockup. --Try HOME/ENTER + MIDI (midi reset). Also, what OS do you have? If not 2.0, try upgrading the OS. In case those don't clear up the problem, let me clarify my previous steps: (1a) When you experience this kind of lock up, can you tell which preset(s) are in use at that moment? (1b) If you know which presets are in use when the problem occurs, look to see if they are from ROM [eg, P/123] or User RAM [User]. (2) [If they are from User RAM, go to Step 3. If not, you could try testing the ROMS via diagnostics mode, but that seems like a long shot since you are able to use the ROMS.] (3) Select one of the User Presets and check presets: (3a) Press Edit Preset. (3b) Scroll through the Preset parameters and look for question marks (??? or ????) in the display, such as the following: -------------------------- LINK 1 PRESET ??? off -------------------------- -------------------------- ARPEGGIATOR ???? Pattern 02^0 (not instld) -------------------------- [Make sure to check the Pattern page in the ARPEGGIATOR menu] -------------------------- AUDITIION RIFF ???? Plays:(not installed) -------------------------- (4) If you have parameters with question marks, change them to valid settings (no question marks).

I can't emphasize this enough: If you initialize data in Diagnostics mode, YOU WILL LOOSE USER PRESETS AND USER SEQUENCES (PATTERNS AND SONGS).

I know I was basically just stating that I had the protozoa rom installed in the mp-7. and I thought that the problem was coming from the protozoa rom. but I think its basically coming from any of the led sounds. Im going to try what u said I havent had the problem in a while though.
