I've had the impression it was the battery dying. If you get one of these pedals, you should probably get the battery replaced. The PMC-10 has been out of production a long time now, so the battery is likely dead or close to it in any unit you find. The PMC-10 yahoo group has discussion of where/how to replace the battery: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/pmc10/ Having Sean Echevarria's PMC-10 editor "Raymond" makes it very easy to create/restore backups, and makes me feel a lot more secure about using this pedal. I've found this very valuable. Raymond also makes patch editing a breeze. Here is a link to Sean's site: http://creepingfog.com/sean/pmc/ The hand programmer that came with the PMC-10 was not too hard to use, but mine used to break or get dirty switch contacts all the time. Now I never use the hand programmer and instead use Raymond. But if you did need to access the pedal that way and your hand programmer is busted, Bernhard has this useful site showing how to do it from the parallel port of a PC: http://nosuch.biz/pmc10/parallel The PMC-10 had things pretty close to perfect for a MIDI pedal. They really thought it out well. The hardware could have been a little more reliable, but it's not that bad if you take some care of it. It really shined in the full functionality and interface. Incredibly flexible, and not hard to use at all. It didn't have any of these arbitrary limitations that people complain about all the time on much newer pedals. I wish somebody would make a new pedal that simply copies it. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
