Hello Loopers, I received my new 'plex just this weekend and immediately upgraded to 16 megs. I have experienced all the same problems that Mattias has had and more. This evening I switched the SIMMs back to the original four 1Meg SIMMs that came with the unit and now it is working perfectly. It seems logical to assume that the problem is with the memory. My question is what the next step? Return the four 4Meg SIMMs and ask for different ones? Return the plex to Oberheim? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
