I'm not saying what the issue was, bad memory or otherwise, I just know that my EDP was not in great working condition. I noticed the problem started after I installed the new memory, then when I switched back, I still had problems. It could have been a cold solder made worse by flexing the board when I installed the new memory, I don't know ... I'm not going to make any judgements until I hear back from Oberheim. My only complaint is that I've been without my EDP for over month now, which is not Oberheim's fault. I mistakenly took it to a "qualified service center" when I should have shipped it directly to Oberheim to begin with. I have an e-mail in Mike Ayers and I should hear back soon. Some typical problems I saw ... when I hit overdub, the EDP would sporadically switch into multiply mode on it's own, then it would hang. Sometimes I couldn't get the EDP out of overdub without hitting the switch several times. Sometimes the screen would turn into giberish after letting a loop run for a few minutes. On Kim's advice, I took the EDP in for service and hope to get back a 100% working EDP. I also sent the suspect memory along with the EDP to see if that was possibly the issue. I hope to get it back soon ... >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Bret [mailto:echoplex@yahoo.com] >>Sent: Monday, August 10, 1998 10:19 PM >>To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com >>Subject: Re: RE(2): Echoplex memory mess... >> >> >>If the unit works as you say ("the unit worked fine with the supplied >>50secs of memory"), fine with one set of simms, and not another then >>the simms are to be suspected, not the EDP.
