OK Bill,

If you can find and send the midifile we can look at it a little and perhaps we can get a better idea. The total dropout thing due to polyphony is another possibility. I didn't have either of my 2000's long enough to have ever experienced this, but Fran miht have nailed it ... and oh yes my first one was really buggy.

I'd probably have to dig up my old posts on it to remember all the things that were wrong, but in a nutshell... it had to do a lot with registrations, saving the wrong data, mixer settings changing for no apparent reason, etc. I was beginning to think it was me.. and that I simply wasn't able to grasp the concept of the board. Then again, the problem was intermittent, which was even more frustrating.

When I finally did send it out for repair, even the tech couldn't believe how messed up it was... In stark contrast, my second 2000 did absolutely everything I wanted it to do flawlessly.
