Jim,

You are right I was a bit confused about your question, I think the answer is no, I think that all the buttons under the top panel are inputs into the MB, the processor will see them when they have been pressed or are on or off the CPU will then drive the outputs for styles and sounds which ever, same with the scroll wheel. The fact that you have an output channel down I would think is not related to the push buttons. Ketron must know about this problem, there are one or two of you now with the same problem, there are surely others in Europe with similar problems, even AJ just keeps saying it’s a loose connections. I must say it is rather difficult to trace a loose connection or bad plug crimp with the Audya top up and the power on, this is perhaps the only way to trace a bad pin connection or crimp. If you are going to do this I would take very great care wiggling plugs with the power on, not that you would get a shock, more you may damage something sensitive with hands. Last resort!!! Loading up the Resources is just part of the boot process. I think the click you hear is the HD, I stand to be corrected on this one, but it is normal.
