Corrupted projects. What causes them?

This definately isn’t a regular occurence with my experience on Elektron machines but it has happened twice now. One on the OT a few months back where the midi mute problem occured and now today I noticed the AR having a problem where performance locks wouldn’t work and a pattern with parameter changes recorded in with live rec mode wouldn’t play on that track and just displayed a row of dim trigless trigs which couldn’t be changed or deleted.

Both where solved by changing project and generally my experience with Elektron machines has been hassle free but I’m wondering what would cause corrupted projects in a piece of hardware?

More then likely a bug in the code. These things do happen. Massively complex code will always have edge cases and unexpected scenarios. It’s the nature of the beast. Trying to replicate and isolate some of these can be quite tricky, and/or may not show up in initial alpha/beta testing.
