Now I'm mad!!!!!!

I got my first XL-7 when theese machines was new. After some months, 
the data wheel began to act weird and generate strange data.

I sent the XL-7 back, and got a new one. After some more months, it's 
data wheel becan to act just like the last one. Then some buttons got 
worse. And NOW, when I got home after the weekend, the sound output, 
was REVERSED!! The reverb was panned somewhat to the left. And no, 
it's not my headphones. It's the XL-7! This happends with ALL 
outputs, both the headphone and the other outputs.

No one else have ever touched my synth while I was gone, and I've 
done no change to the synth configuration, or repleaced any audio 
cables or ANYTHING. It's exactly the same as when I left it before 
the weekend. Nothing I done could have caused this problem, because I 
did absolutly NOTHING.

Okey, I know theese synths is based on low-quality components which 
sooner or (in case you're really lucky) later stops to work, but THIS 
SORT OF THINGS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEND WITH A SYNTHESIZER!

Not to mention the bugs in the OS.

I've had nothing else than trouble since I bought the XL-7.

Also, keep in mind that I'm really careful about my music equipment. 
I do nothing which can damage it. This is not my fault.

Never mind that stupid post. I confused this with another unexpected 
problem in my home studio. It's not the XL-7 which causes problem 
this time.

About the weird buttons and data wheels, perhaps I'm just unlucky to 
get two XL-7's which doesn't work well. I guess I should concider 
sending the XL-7 back again to get it repaired. 

My dissapointment will still be the bugs. But I hope to get them 
fixed now when a new OS release is on it's way.

Before replying and flaming me for my first post, first keep in mind 
that:

I'm sorry! Really. I was just mad when I wrote the post, because I 
hate problems with my music equipment.
