so my MnM mkii wiped itself last night. i have an MD, MnM rytm setup.
the only thing i think that could of caused it is that my MD (a UW mki) has a non original power supply and recently started occasionally turning itself off and on at random. all data would be still available and could press play as soon as she booted, but of course this was a vibe killer mid jam.
last night the MD did this again but this time my MnM then froze. when i rebooted all internal data was gone. the MD is the master clock + program change machine in the trio, sending direct into MnM and then out to rytm. dunno why it reset the internal memory tho, some midi send trauma?
i’ve now empty reset both MD and MnM as i’ve read somewhere this solved some issues for some people. losing weeks of work but thats by the by. the MD hasn’t reset itself since (only a few hours use), but i’m anxious it still will again in future.
just sharing the pain and wondering if any similar experiences, resolutions from you guys. my biggest concern is that my MD UW mki has some deeper rooted problem and these resets are the tell tale onset of some internal issue that could result in far worse…?
can anyone advise if it’s worth cracking her open and reseating connections, making sure things are plugged in solidly etc, it’s an old second hand unit, and i appreciate cannot be repaired in 2017 so want to maximise my time with her.
any advice or stories of similar problems appreciated.
ta, waftlord.
