Diki,

You are heading right back to the cooler, calm down, not even you with all you years of experience would be able to know what button you pressed to get the Audya to lock up, the chap who played it yesterday has been playing Kb for the last 35 years professionally. It is simple Diki the bloody thing should not lock up and that’s the end of it, it is still not fit for propose, don’t look any deeper into it, it needs fixing. Now about not loading the OS3 on properly, how do you need to hold your mouth when you are doing it. You know this site is a bit like the justice in the UK for Murder you will get 100 hours community service or a leg tag, I expected Diki to be away for light years, I am glad he is back, but Diki put the guns away. Don’t shoot me I am only the poor messenger .

Regards
Tony

When Ketron introduced 4.0 with the SD1, I was still demo guy for Ketron, many problems were created when customers tried to update. If done incorrectly, the keyboard would be funky in many ways. Particularily when a keyboard was purchased with 1.0, which most demo keyboards in music stores could possibly be.

It was just a thought.

I've read and re-read Diki's post three times now, and I still can't find anything objectionable about it.

Perhaps rather than sending *him* to "the cooler", we should be sending all these delicate little flowers somewhere far from the world of online forums, where instead of engaging in spirited discussion, they can sit in a virtual circle singing I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing to each other?

I know who'd I'd rather have around.

I did close in saying it's good for him to be back he has lots of experience, long live Diki.We should not be waging war on each other, it's not our fault that we have bought a pile of tosh - it didn't say that on the technical specification that it had all these problems.

Cheers Seamaster

Certainly you make a good point, but Diki was not suspended for the post on this thread.

I do notice there is very little "spirited discussion" on Roland arranger forum...this forum (SZ) seems to be the only place where it is allowed (or tolerated, in some cases).

That's why I come to Synth Zone...it is far more liberal than other ones I have visited.

I think Nigel does an exceptional job with moderating, especially considering the diverse natures of the members of this forum.

Seamaster, I too am a big proponent of free speech as long as it doesn't involve race, ethnicity, nationality, physical appearance, and generally things that we have no control over. Furthermore, Diki is someone whom I consider a friend and for whom I'm patiently waiting for his 'time out' to be over. However, I'm not going to freak out in the meantime. During his brief, accidental appearance, he himself apologized for his part in the circumstances surrounding his 'vacation' from SZ. I think that speaks volumes about the fairness of Nigel's decision in this matter.

I think that in order to maintain the kind of decorum he wants on this board, Nigel has drawn a very liberal and lenient line in the sand, with a big sign that says, 'Cross at your own risk'. Kids (that's us here on SZ) always test the limits to see how much they can get away with. Diki and Donny will be back, feisty as ever, but with a better feel for where the line is.

Diki, if you're out there, I'm working on my Sax emulation technique, baby. Remember, you still got the Saints. Who dat?

Just got back. Did I miss something? Why was/is Dikki suspended?

For picking on poor defenseless Donny. BTW, could you people stop putting an extra 'k' in his name (unless you're trying to emphasize something ).

chas

Sorry cgiles. That was a 'typo'.

In which thread?

all of 'em.
